Incubating new ideas about avian reproduction/SJ Reynolds & DC Deeming--The fossil
record and evolution of avian egg nesting and incubation/DC Deeming--Nest construction …

In birds parental incubation behaviour is an important factor shaping the environmental
conditions under which the embryos develop, and sub‐optimal incubation temperatures are …

Elucidating factors that limit the number of offspring produced is fundamental to
understanding life‐history evolution. Here, we examine the hypothesis that parental ability to …

Incubation temperature can have profound effects on growth and development of embryos
and young birds. However, few studies have examined the role that cycling incubation …

Nest attendance is an important determinant of avian reproductive success, and identifying
factors that influence the frequency and duration of incubation recesses furthers our …

Most research conducted on optimal timing of reproduction in birds has traditionally
considered laying date of the first egg as the event that needs to be related to the time of …

In birds, incubation by both parents is a common form of care for eggs. Although the
involvement of the two parents may vary dramatically between and within pairs, as well as …

Nest attendance behavior is a critical component of avian ecology that influences nest
survival and population productivity. Birds that provide uniparental care during incubation …

In birds, incubation temperature is critically deterministic for a range of traits. When parents
leave the nest to forage, developing embryos can be exposed to cooling events that …

Because extended incubation recesses, where incubating songbirds are away from nests for
periods much longer than usual, occur infrequently, they have been treated as outliers in …
