We analyzed the effect of nest temperatures, fledging date, age at fledging, fledgling mass and size on post- fledging survival of Great Tits Parus major in eastern Spain. We manipulated temperature during nestling development in 26 nests (average temperature was 39.8, 34.6 and 26.4 °C for heated, control and cooled nest-boxes, respectively), and used radio-telemetry to monitor the survival of 48 nestlings (16 heated, 18 cooled, 14 controls) during the first 15 days after fledging. Heated chicks were lighter than control and cooled chicks. Estimated survival of heated fledglings was lower than that of controls. Additionally, survival of control fledglings increased with size, but this relationship was reversed for heated fledglings. Our results suggest that high temperatures experienced in the nest could have negative consequences on immediate post-fledging survival, and that smaller nestlings may deal more effectively with temperatures surpassing their optimal thermal range.

U drobnych wróblaków przeżywalność w okresie tuż po wylocie z gniazda jest bardzo niska i zależy m.in. od kondycji ptaków opuszczających gniazdo. W pracy analizowano wpływ temperatury panującej w gnieździe podczas rozwoju piskląt na ich przeżywalność w ciągu dwóch tygodni od opuszczenia gniazda. Manipulowano temperaturą panującą w skrzynkach lęgowych tworząc trzy grupy gniazd: podgrzewane, kontrolne (nie manipulowane) i ochładzane (średnie temperatury w gniazdach wynosiły odpowiednio 39,8, 34,6 i 26,4 °C, lęgi wybrane do badań nie różniły się podstawowymi parametrami biologii lęgów, Tab. 1). Dwa najcięższe pisklęta z każdego gniazda zostały wyposażone w 15 dniu życia w nadajniki telemetryczne, dzięki którym monitorowano ich przeżywalność po wylocie. Stwierdzono, że pisklęta z gniazd podgrzewanych były lżejsze niż z pozostałych grup. Szanse na przeżycie pierwszych dwóch tygodni po wylocie z gniazda były różne dla piskląt z lęgów podgrzewanych i kontrolnych (Tab. 2, 3), większe szanse miały ptaki z gniazd nie manipulowanych (Fig. 1). Dodatkowo na przeżycie piskląt w ciągu pierwszego dnia po opuszczeniu gniazda wpływała wielkość ciała, określona za pomocą długości skoku. Wpływ ten był jednak odmienny w zależności od typu gniazda: w gniazdach nie manipulowanych był dodatni, a podgrzewanych — ujemny (Fig. 2, Tab. 4). Wyniki pracy sugerują, że wysokie temperatury w trakcie okresu rozwoju gniazdowego mogą mieć negatywny wpływ na przeżywalność piskląt po wylocie z gniazda, oraz, że mniejsze pisklęta mogą skuteczniej radzić sobie z temperaturami przewyższającymi zakres optymalnych temperatur.
