Nest-dwelling ectoparasites reduce begging effort in Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca nestlings

Parasitized nestlings might be expected to increase begging effort to obtain additional resources to compensate for those sequestered by their parasites. However, begging is costly and chicks harbouring parasites may find it more difficult to attain high begging levels. Consequently, we predicted th...
