Egg Size, Eggshell Porosity, and Incubation Period in the Marine Bird Family Alcidae
A .—Although the ultimate factors that infl uence the duration of avian incubation periods are well known, we know much less about the proximate mechanisms by which birds adjust incubation period in response to selection. We tested the hypothesis that an adjustment in eggshell porosity is one such proximate mechanism (i.e., that avian species with higher ratios of incubation period to egg size ...
متن کاملDelayed egg‐laying and shortened incubation duration of Arctic‐breeding shorebirds coincide with climate cooling
Biological impacts of climate change are exemplified by shifts in phenology. As the timing of breeding advances, the within-season relationships between timing of breeding and reproductive traits may change and cause long-term changes in the population mean value of reproductive traits. We investigated long-term changes in the timing of breeding and within-season patterns of clutch size, egg vo...
متن کاملEgg-laying sequence influences egg mercury concentrations and egg size in three bird species: Implications for contaminant monitoring programs.
Bird eggs are commonly used in contaminant monitoring programs and toxicological risk assessments, but intraclutch variation and sampling methodology could influence interpretability. The authors examined the influence of egg-laying sequence on egg mercury concentrations and burdens in American avocets, black-necked stilts, and Forster's terns. The average decline in mercury concentrations betw...
متن کاملEctoparasitism shortens the breeding season in a colonial bird
When blood-feeding parasites increase seasonally, their deleterious effects may prevent some host species, especially those living in large groups where parasites are numerous, from reproducing later in the summer. Yet the role of parasites in regulating the length of a host's breeding season-and thus the host's opportunity for multiple brooding-has not been systematically investigated. The hig...
متن کاملAlizarin marking of whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus otoliths during egg incubation
Alizarin red S from 200 to 5000 mg L was used to mark the otoliths of whitefish embryos Coregonus lavaretus (L.) from 5 days after fertilization until shortly before hatching, to develop a method for evaluating the effect of stocking whitefish. Mark quality depended on developmental stage at the time of immersion. The best results were obtained when the otolith primordia had formed and had star...
