Adjusting risk-taking to the annual cycle of long-distance migratory birds
Life-history theory predicts that current behaviour affects future reproduction, implying that
animals should optimise their escape strategies to reflect fitness costs and benefits of …

Nest attentiveness drives nest predation in arctic sandpipers
Most birds incubate their eggs to allow embryo development. This behaviour limits the ability
of adults to perform other activities. Hence, incubating adults trade off incubation and nest …

Patterns of female nest attendance and male feeding throughout the incubation period in Blue Tits Cyanistes caeruleus
G Bambini, E Schlicht, B Kempenaers - Ibis, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Responses of nesting Arctic terns (Sterna paradisaea) to disturbance by humans
Nesting birds often respond to human disturbance as to a predatory act. In the case of the
high Arctic, the disturbance of incubating birds may bring further complications due to egg …

Daily rhythms of female self-maintenance correlate with predation risk and male nest attendance in a biparental wader
K Brynychová, ME Šálek… - Journal of …, 2020 - journals.sagepub.com
Parents make tradeoffs between care for offspring and themselves. Such a tradeoff should
be reduced in biparental species, when both parents provide parental care. However, in …

Parental incubation exchange in a territorial bird species involves sex-specific signalling
Background Effective communication between sexual partners is essential for successful
reproduction. Avian parents with biparental incubation need to know how to negotiate, when …

Biparental incubation behaviour under temperature extremes in sandbank nesting black skimmers
Birds nesting on riverine beaches are exposed to large temperature fluctuations, while
changing water levels pose flooding risks. We used miniature temperature loggers (i …

Temporary mate removal during incubation leads to variable compensation in a biparental shorebird
Theoretical models predict that parents feeding offspring should partially compensate for the
reduced care of their partner. However, for incubating birds, the level of compensation may …

Parental investment asymmetries of a globally endangered scavenger: Unravelling the role of gender, weather conditions and stage of the nesting cycle
ABSTRACT Capsule: In Egyptian Vultures Neophron percnopterus, both sexes invested
similar parental effort throughout the breeding period. However, there was variation in the …
