	BBC - Science & Nature - Wildfacts - Great tit
		Great tits are distinguished from blue tits by their larger size and fl cap.
		Great tits have a wingspan of 14-16cm, a body length of 14cm and weigh 14-22g.
		Great tits live in family groups for a short time after breeding, and then join mixed flocks of other species in the late summer and through to spring.

		Great tits returned to the feeder within a few minutes and began to approach the owl, and there was no increase in plasma corticosterone levels in birds sampled 30–50 min after they first saw the owl.
		Great tits exposed to the owl changed their behaviour immediately, and spent most of the time when the owl was visible flying around the aviary and hanging from the roof, with very few visits to a feeder.
		The great tits responded to the sight of the owl with a marked increase in plasma corticosterone levels, whereas there was no change in corticosterone levels (mean levels < 11 ng/ml) in birds exposed to the brambling or to the moving box.

	Great Tit
		The Great Tit is the largest member of the Tit family to occur in Britain, being some 20% larger than the equally familiar Blue Tit.
		Great Tits may be less strongly influenced by the structure of available tree cover than by the structure and density of undergrowth, something that dictates their opportunities for ground feeding.
		Great Tits are primarily insectivorous in the summer but take large numbers of seeds throughout autumn and winter.

	Air pollution impacts on birds - the pied flycatcher and the great tit as model species
		Effects of air pollution on the Pied Flycatcher(Ficedula hypoleuca) and the Great Tit (Parus major)has been studied in the surroundings of a copper smelter of Harjavalta (SW Finland) since 1991.
		The great tit suffers most in late nestling stage, when the growth of nestling is retarded and mortality increased.
		Breeding success of the great tit and pied flycatcher has markedly improved in the vicinity of the copper smelter during 1991 - 1997, when heavy metal emissions markedly decreased.

	Auk, The: Variation in the number of spermatozoa in Blue Tit and Great Tit eggs
		For the Great Tit, we analyzed a total of 94 eggs from 26 females (52 eggs from 21 clutches on Jomfruland, and 42 eggs from 5 clutches in Maridalen).
		One Great Tit clutch from Maridalen was exceptional in that all seven eggs seemed to lack spermatozoa entirely; no spermatozoa were trapped in the eggs, and two eggs each had a single hole in the inner perivitelline layer (one on the blastodisc) that might have been caused by spermatozoa.
		For Great Tits, the mean correlation coefficient was not significantly different from zero (r = -0.20, t = -1.07, df = 3, P = 0.36), butwith the small sample of only four clutches (excluding the infertile clutch), we cannot rule out the possibility that a negative relationship also existed in this species.

		The coalescence time estimates of the great tits (93 500 years) and the blue tits (within northern lineage 96 000 years) matched the period of the last glaciation.
		When geographical haplotype distribution is taken into account, the European great tit has survived the last glaciation in the Balkan refugium and expanded thereafter rapidly to all of Europe.
		In contrast, the coalescence time of the willow tit populations (260 000 years) is vastly longer than the within-lineage coalescence of the great and blue tits.

	Seasonal decline in health status of Great Tit Parus major nestlings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Seasonal variation in offspring survival and recruitment rate in birds may be mediated by immune function as it defines the ability of individuals to protect themselves against parasites and infectious diseases.
		To investigate the relation between hatching date and health status of great tit nestlings, two blood parameters (leukocyte level and haematocrit) were estimated.
		We suggest that the commonly observed decline in juvenile survival with the progress of the season may be at least partly attributed to seasonal changes in health status.
