Abstract
The ecology of ectoparasitic species [Carnus hemapterus] on nestlings of common kestrel ([Falco tinnunculus]) in Bratislava
The time course and abundance of [Carnus hemapterus] on common kestrel's nestlings depends on their age and the type of nest. Ectoparasites were found in 97% of nests and the majority of nestlings (83%) were observed to be infested between their 10th and 15th day of life. The highest infestation rate of [Carnus hemapterus] was recorded on 5- to 10-day old nestlings. We have confirmed that the [Carnus hemapterus] species feeds on blood; however no negative impact on nestlings and the breeding success of common kestrel was confirmed.
