Influence of man-made environment pollutants on the stability of individual development of great tits (Parus major)

We have investigated the correlation relationships of level of heavy metals in plumage and fluctuating asymmetry of bilateral structures (folidoza fingers) Great Tit (Parus major). We have found that with the increase of man-made pollution is directly proportional to increasing content of pollutants in the plumage of birds, and the level of fluctuating asymmetry of bilateral structures.
