[EN] Nesting cavities offer conditions of relatively constant temperature and humidity as well as protection from rain, solar radiation and. Availability of nesting cavities, thermal properties of the nests and ectoparasites loads are among the main factors implicated in the evolution of cavity nesting behaviour. The main goal of this thesis is increased understanding from an evolutionary perspective of the behavioural strategies arising during several stages of the reproductive cycle in small altricial cavity-nesting birds such as the Pied Flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca, Eurasian Nuthatch Sitta europaea and Blue Tit Cyanistes caeruleus. This PhD thesis involves descriptive studies and field experiments aimed at understanding the mechanisms ...
