Individual quality and age affect responses to an energetic constraint in a cavity-nesting bird (2007, result): “However, our results corroborate other recent experimental studies demonstrating the cost of incubation in intermittent incubators (Bryan and Bryant 1999; Reid et al. 2000; Cresswell et al. 2004), as well as constant incubators (Hanssen et al. 2005).”
Travelling to breed (2006, background): “…energy expenditure by means of doubly-labelled water in incubating shorebirds (nine species, see Piersma et al. 2003; Piersma and Morrison 1994),Cresswell et al. (2004) found that pectoral sandpipers during the incubation phase had a power output equivalent to 6 times basal metabolic rate…”
