Incubation temperature affects multiple measures of immunocompetence in young wood ducks (Aix Sponsa).

Biology letters - 23 Feb 2012

DuRant Sarah E, Hopkins William A, Hawley Dana M, Hepp Gary R

Abstract excerpt

Parental effects play a vital role in shaping offspring phenotype. In birds, incubation behaviour is a critical parental effect because it influences the early developmental environment and can therefore have lifelong consequences for offspring phenotype. Recent studies that manipulated incubation temperature found effects on hatchling body composition, condition and growth, suggesting that incubation temperature...
