Factors affecting brood patch development in Magellanic Penguins Spheniscus magellanicus
(Polish Academy of Sciences. Museum and Institute of Zoology, 2016-05)
Brood patches allow the transfer of heat to eggs for their successful embryonic development, and in many species determine egg temperature during incubation. We investigated brood patch development of Magellanic Penguins ...
An experimental approach to the brood reduction hypothesis in Magellanic penguins
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-08-07)
In many bird species, eggs in a brood hatch within days of each other, leading to a size asymmetry detrimental to younger siblings. Hatching asynchrony is often thought of as an adaptive strategy, and the most widely studied ...

(INT BEE RESEARCH ASSOC, 2011)
Although stingless bees are capable of maintaining their nest temperature within certain limits, brood production of several species declines or even completely stops during periods of low ambient temperature. In the present ...
