Ecology and allometry predict the evolution of avian developmental durations
The duration of the developmental period represents a fundamental axis of life-history
variation, yet broad insights regarding the drivers of this diversity are currently lacking. Here …

Evolution of parental activity at the nest is shaped by the risk of nest predation and ambient temperature across bird species
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 …

Visual predators and diurnal nest predation provide support for the Skutch Hypothesis and explain evolved incubation behaviors in a montane tropical bird community
The Hypothesis that nest predation risk constrains parental nest activity has important
implications for the evolution of parental care strategies, but the required conditions for the …

The adaptive significance of variation in avian incubation periods
In spite of strong selection by time-dependent mortality on the length of the embryo
development (incubation) period, time to hatching varies substantially among species …

Nest attentiveness in several Neotropical suboscine passerine birds with long incubation periods
Many species of tropical birds have prolonged incubation periods compared to other tropical
species and to most species in temperate latitudes. One hypothesis for prolonged incubation …
