Experimental manipulation of incubation period reveals no apparent costs of incubation in house wrens

The Incubation Period of Leprosy

Vkry variable incubation periods have been given by different observers, making it most difficult to make any definite, authoritative statement on the subject. Thus Ralph Hopkins of Lousiana places it at six to eight years, Besnier says it is usually four years, Iveravel in the Caucasus found it to be three to four years in a few cases where it could be definitely fixed, while Munch of South Ru...

Incubation Period of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome

The potential incubation period from exposure to onset of symptoms was 7-39 days (median 18 days) in 20 patients with a defined period of exposure to Andes virus in a high-risk area. This period was 14-32 days (median 18 days) in 11 patients with exposure for <48 hours.

Incubation period of coronary heart disease.

Serum cholesterol concentrations and blood pressure were measured during 1958-64 among men aged 40-59 who took part in the Seven Countries Study. In the present study these measurements were related to the national mortality from coronary heart disease in the periods 1959-61, 1964-6, 1969-71, and 1974-6. The correlations increased with time (r = +0.86, 0.90, 0.93, and 0.96 respectively for seru...

Biparental incubation-scheduling: no experimental evidence for major energetic constraints

Incubation is energetically demanding, but it is debated whether these demands constrain incubation-scheduling (i.e., the length, constancy, and timing of incubation bouts) in cases where both parents incubate. Using 2 methods, we experimentally reduced the energetic demands of incubation in the semipalmated sandpiper, a biparental shorebird breeding in the harsh conditions of the high Arctic. ...
