The influence of nest size on heat loss of Penduline Tit eggs
Penduline-Tit (Remiz pendulinus) Science Article 2 abstract The size and quality of nest influence mate choice and parental behaviour in several birds. Previousworks in Penduline Tits showed that females prefer to mate with males that build largenests, and females desert small nests whereas they incubate eggs in large nests. We testedwhether female preference may be […]
