Table 1 Blood chemistry values and results of ANOVA tests for nestling and adult Lesser Kestrels. All biochemical parameters are<br />

expressed as mg/dl. Mean, SD and range are absolute values, i.e. <strong>the</strong>y have not been transformed. ANOVA tests were conducted using <strong>the</strong><br />

mean values of nestlings <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> same nest and mean values of adults sampled twice or more times (see text).<br />
