Factors affecting the probability of double brooding by Southern House WrensFactores que afectan la probabilidad de doble puesta en Troglodytes aedon musculus
(Wiley, 2014-09)
Seasonal fecundity of birds is influenced by clutch sizes and the number of successful breeding attempts during a breeding season. As such, understanding the factors that determine the decision to initiate multiple broods ...
Cold stress induces specific antioxidant responses in honey bee brood
(EDP Sciences, 2021-03)
Multiple harmful factors cause chronic sub-lethal stress in managed honey bee colonies. In weak colonies, worker bees may not efficiently maintain the optimum temperature (33–36°C) in peripheral brood development areas. A ...
Brood parasitism disproportionately increases nest provisioning and helper recruitment in a cooperatively breeding bird
(Springer, 2011-12)
Obligate avian brood parasites lay their eggs in nests of other species (hosts), which raise parasitic young. Parasitic nestlings are likely to influence host's parental behaviours as they typically beg for food more ...
Multiple Lines of Egg Defense in a Neotropical Arachnid with Temporary Brood Desertion
(Berlin, 2014-07)
Egg predation is the one of the main costs of brood desertion in many ectothermic animals. When stressful environmental conditions constrain parental activities to only some periods of the day, the combination of physical ...
Electrophoretical Protein Profile in Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera; Apidae) Hypopharyngeal Glands under Juvenile Hormone Effect When the Colony is Grown in the Absence of Brood
(2003-12-08)
Twelve-day-old and 25-day-old Apis mellifera workers were treated or not treated with juvenile hormone at the moment of emergence and reared in the colony without brood. Having the brood interference apart, the hormone ...

Notes on brood morphology and development of the neotropical eusocial wasp mischocyttarus cerberus (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Polistinae)
(2020-06-01)
Mischocyttarus cerberus stands out as the most investigated species of eusocial paper wasp, in Brazil. While the adult characteristics were relatively well reported in the earlier studies, very meager information was ...
Delayed start of full incubation is related to a delayed brood patch development in Magellanic penguins
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016-05)
Capsule: Most bird species start full incubation before the clutch is complete, others long after laying the last egg, gradually increasing the incubation temperature as incubation progresses, as is the case in Magellanic ...
Reproductive features in the sea cucumber Pentactella perrieri (Ekman, 1927) (Holothuroidea: Cucumariidae): a brooding hermaphrodite species from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean
(Springer, 2020-09)
Cucumariidae (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) is a family of sea cucumbers known for displaying different reproductive strategies, including brooding and hermaphroditism. These reproductive strategies of marine invertebrates ...
