The Prudent Parent: Energetic Adjustments in Avian Breeding 1)
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Energetics of reproduction in birds is reviewed, and observations of parent starlings confronted with manipulated brood size suggest a limit on the time that can be devoted to energetically extravagant flight activity, rather than a shortage of absolute time.
