Abstract
Photo 1. A female tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) hangs on one of the 400 nest boxes of our study system. Tree swallows feed on aerial insects, mainly diptera and insects with an aquatic life stage, from which they can be exposed to various pesticides. Photograph credit: Marie-Christine Poisson. Photo 2. This young tree swallow is likely only a few moments away from fledging, which they usually do at 20–22 days old. All individuals in our study system, including nestlings, are identified with unique band numbers. Photograph credit: Marie-Christine Poisson. These photographs illustrate the article “Assessing pesticides exposure effects on the reproductive performance of a declining aerial insectivore” by Marie-Christine Poisson, Daniel R. Garrett, Audrey Sigouin, Marc Bélisle, Dany Garant, Lounès Haroune, Jean-Philippe Bellenger, and Fanie Pelletier published in Ecological Applications. https://doi.org/10.1002/eap.2415.
