Incubation behavior, embryonic heart rate, and developmental variation within and among altricial bird species
The incubation period of an egg is a critical stage that has multiple implications in subsequent life stages, therefore understanding the processes within the egg during the incubation period are important for a broader understanding of avian development and life history strategies. I examined …

Sexual conflict and division of labour during incubation
… Incubation effort can be measured in terms of temperature as well as time, and the sexes may differ in the quality of the incubation they provide for a given unit of time. In the Zebra Finch, the female alone possesses a brood patch, a bare area of thickened, loose ventral skin which …
