Feeding bluebirds helps fend off parasites

Paper: Food supplementation affects gut microbiota and immunological resistance to parasites in a wild bird species

https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2664.13567


Effect of food and parasite treatment on parasite load and fledging success of bluebirds. Birds that were supplemented with food were more resistant to parasites than birds that were not supplemented (a). Parasite abundance decreased throughout the breeding season in the unsupplemented treatment but not the supplemented treatment (b). Parasitism did not affect fledging success, but supplemented birds had marginally higher fledging success than unsupplemented bird (c). Within the parasitized treatment, birds from each treatment were tolerant to their respective parasite abundances (d)
