The article discusses a study that aims to assess the sources of variation in the phenotypes of House Sparrows. A partial cross-foster design was used to investigate sources of variation in a component of immunity and three morphological traits in nestling sparrows. The authors note that date in season influenced most nestling traits. According to findings of the study, male sparrows demonstrated greater origin-related and less rearing-related variance in immune response compared to females. |
