• EFFECTS OF NEST HABITAT, FOOD, AND PARENTAL BEHAVIOR ON SHOREBIRD NEST SUCCESS (2007, background): “For shorebirds, selecting a nest site sheltered from the wind could lower convective heat loss of the incubating adult, or the eggs when left unattended (Reid et al. 2002).”
• The energetic costs of egg heating constrain incubation attendance but do not determine daily energy expenditure in the pectoral sandpiper (2004, methodology): “The effect of the heating pad on egg temperature was determined by five experiments on five different pairs of artificial pectoral sandpiper nests constructed to mimic natural nests (the validity of this is discussed in Reid et al., 2002a).”
• An Overview of the Factors Influencing the Morphology and Thermal Properties of Avian Nests (2013, background): “…to forage, the clutch will be subjected to rates of heat loss between 11 and 22% higher (Heenan and Seymour, 2012), thereby lengthening development time and reducing hatching success or chick survival (Lundy, 1969; Deeming and Ferguson, 1991; Wachob, 1996; Reid et al., 2002a; Olson et al., 2006).”
