trichomoniasis in a bonelli's eagle population in spain.	during 1980-97, trichomoniasis was detected in nestlings of bonelli's eagle hieraaetus fasciatus in catalonia (spain). in 1993 trichomonas gallinae was isolated in 36% of nestlings (n = 39) and affected 41% of broods (n = 22). overall, trichomoniasis was one of the most important single nestling mortality factor, accounting for 22% of total chick mortality, and causing the death of 2% of chicks. trichomoniasis deaths took place during the second half of the nestling period. the median age at dea ...	2000	10682745
pollutant accumulation patterns in nestlings of an avian top predator: biochemical and metabolic effects.	the exposure to persistent pollutants such as organochlorine compounds (ocs) or metals has been associated with declines in top predator populations, which can accumulate high amounts of these pollutants from their prey. however, understanding how variation in oc and metal accumulation in wild species affects their biochemical and physiological responses is a big challenge, especially for endangered predators like the bonelli's eagle (aquila fasciata). this bird of prey is an interesting study m ...	2015	26327637
