Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.
