Biparental incubation-scheduling: no experimental evidence for major energetic constraints
It is believed that a bird’s energetic reserves determine when and for how long it incubates its eggs. We challenge this view for species where both parents incubate. We experimentally reduced the energetic demands of incubation by heating and insulating the nest. These treatments had no major effec...
