Tiivistelmä
5. There was a significant interaction between Ca and Cu levels of faeces, so that the negative effect of Cu on the number of fledglings was stronger when the Ca level was low, i.e. F. hypoleuca demonstrated poor breeding success especially at territories high in heavy metals and low in snail shells. Our results show that heavy metals have detrimental effects on F. hypoleuca nestlings especially when Ca availability is poor.
