Experimental manipulation of cavity temperature produces differential effects on parasite abundances in blue tit nests at two different latitudes

Although different predictive models forecast that climate change will alter the distribution and incidence of parasitic diseases, few studies have investigated how microclimatic changes may affect host-parasite relationships. In this study, we experimentally increased the temperature inside nest bo...
