Fourteen blood profile variables were analysed in 12-day-old nestlings of great tits (Parus major) in the wild. Except for plateletocrit and platelet distribution width, the traits showed a consistent pattern of variation, with significant intra-brood repeatabilities; they were shown to be significant predictors of nestling performance as measured by survival from hatching to fledging. It is concluded that all blood characteristics that show consistent within-brood variation may be useful as indicators of some aspects of nestling condition/health status in wild birds.
对野生大山雀（Parus major）12日龄雏鸟的14项血液指标变量进行了分析。除血小板比容和血小板分布宽度外，这些性状呈现出一致的变化模式，具有显著的巢内重复性；结果表明，以从孵化到 fledging 的存活率衡量，它们是雏鸟生长性能的重要预测指标。得出的结论是，所有表现出巢内一致变化的血液特征都可能作为野生鸟类雏鸟状况/健康状况某些方面的指标。
