record and evolution of avian egg nesting and incubation/DC Deeming--Nest construction …

Incubation is an important component of parental care in birds, and species differ widely in
their incubation rhythm. In this comparative study, we focused on factors responsible for …

Incubation is an important aspect of avian life history. The behaviour is energetically costly,
and investment in incubation strategies within species, like female nest attentiveness and …

Body size evolution is generally framed by the benefits of being large, while costs are largely
overlooked. An important putative cost of being large is the need to extend development …

Parental care provided by males occurs in a diverse array of animals and there are large
differences among species in its extent compared with female care. However, social and …

The passerine family Meliphagidae (the honeyeaters) comprises 175–180 species in 40–50
genera. It is an iconic element of the Australo‐Papuan avifauna and also occurs in …

Anthropogenic disturbances such as energy extraction may affect numerous behavioural
strategies, including competition for optimal nesting sites and predation risk avoidance …

The timing of breeding often has a profound influence on the reproductive success of birds
living in seasonal environments with rapidly changing nestling food availability. Timing is …

Most bird species exhibit biparental care, but the type of care provided by each sex may
differ substantially. In particular, during the incubation phase in passerines, females perform …

Introduction Male contribution to parental care varies widely among avian species. Yet the
reasons for this variation, as well as its consequences, are still unclear. Because the amount …
