• Physiological condition and immune function in great tits (Parus major L.): sources of variation and trade-offs in relation to growth (2006, background): “Furthermore, the H/L ratio has recently been shown to exhibit high long-term individual consistency (Hõrak et al. 2002), indicating its usefulness as a measure of an individual general health status and immunological condition (reviewed by Friedl & Edler 2005).”
• Geographic variation in the response to thermal acclimation in rufous‐collared sparrows: are physiological flexibility and environmental heterogeneity correlated? (2008, background): “BMR appears to be a plastic character that not only varies among populations, but also at the individual level (Bech, Langseth & Gabrielsen 1999; Horak et al. 2002; Labocha et al. 2004).”
• Leukocyte Profiles in Wild House Finches with and without Mycoplasmal Conjunctivitis, a Recently Emerged Bacterial Disease (2004, background): “Recent studies have demonstrated that leukocyte differentials offer reliable and meaningful measures of avian stress and condition (e.g., Vleck et al., 2000; Horak et al., 2002).”
• Variation of adult Great Tit Parus major body condition and blood parameters in relation to sex, age, year and season (2009, background): “These parameters have been evaluated mostly in aviary and captive bird species (Hill and Murray 1987; Celdran et al. 1994; Hõrak et al. 2002; Villegas et al. 2004) while information on the range of variation is scarce for wild populations, especially passerines.”
• How coccidian parasites affect health and appearance of greenfinches (2004, background): “Reference values of 15 mainly haemato-serological condition indices of greenfinches not treated against coccidia have been reported by Hõrak et al. (2002 and 2003).”
