Warm temperatures lead to early onset of incubation, shorter incubation periods and greater hatching asynchrony in tree swallows Tachycineta bicolor at the extremes of their range (2006, background): “Since large clutches cool more slowly, they may incubate at higher average temperatures (Frost and Siegfried 1977, Moreno and Hillstrom 2000, Reid et al. 2000, Reid et al. 2002) and therefore exhibit shorter incubation periods.”
An Overview of the Factors Influencing the Morphology and Thermal Properties of Avian Nests (2013, background): “…et al., 2008), the energetic cost of incubation (Calder III and King, 1974; Grant, 1982; Haftorn and Reinertsen, 1985; Webster and Weathers, 1988; Reid et al., 2000a; Turner, 2002; Hilton et al., 2004; McNab, 2009) and the intensity of a reproductive event (Zann et al., 1995; Tinbergen and…”
Early growth conditions, phenotypic development and environmental change (2008, background): “The conditions during incubation, such as parental attendance, clutch size and incubation temperature, can also influence aspects of chick development (Reid et al. 2000; Gorman & Nager 2004).”
Seasonal and latitudinal trends in clutch size : Thermal constraints during laying and incubation (2005, background): “For example, even if small clutches were energetically more expensive to incubate, females could allocate energy that would have been used to feed nestlings toward incubating the eggs more quickly (e.g., Reid et al. 2000).”
The Energetic Costs of Nest Building in Birds (2013, background): “…have since performed clutch size manipulations during the incubation phase and reported that enlarged clutches resulted in longer incubation periods (e.g. Smith, 1989), reduced hatching success (e.g. Reid et al., 2000a) and reduced fledging success (Reid et al., 2000b; de Heij et al., 2006).”
