Consequences of avian parental incubation behavior for within-clutch variance in incubation temperature and offspring behavioral phenotypes
… effects on their offspring by influencing the early developmental environment. In birds, a major way that parents can influence the early developmental environment is through egg incubation. Not only is incubation necessary for hatching success, but small changes of <1C in average incubation …

The role of incubation temperature in determining avian phenotype: implications for avian ecology, life history evolution, and conservation
The early developmental environment has a profound influence on an individual's life history trajectory and parents have tremendous influence over this environment. Despite the wealth of research demonstrating that incubation temperature affects a suite of traits important to fitness in reptiles, …

Parental bonding: Validity, stability and predictor of mental and physical health during pregnancy
… individual’s life-long health. The influence of early parent-child relationships may be particularly strong in mothers who are pregnant with their first child. In this study, these emotional bonds were explored using the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), a retrospective and quantitative measure …
