Costs and benefits of temporary brood desertion in a Neotropical harvestman (Arachnida: Opiliones)
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Brood desertion is a life history strategy that allows parents to minimize costs related to parental care and increase their future fecundity. The harvestman Neosadocus maximus is an interesting model organism to study ...
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 ...
Brooding behaviour and cost of brooding in small body size brachyuran crabs
(INTER-RESEARCH, 2006)
Interannual and geographical variability of the brood size of the wuphasiids Euphasia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera along the Oregon coast (1999-2004)
(Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 2007)
Brood sizes of 1259 adult female Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera were measured during 48 h incubations (10 °C, ±0.5 °C) on 27 oceanographic cruises between July 1999 and September 2004. The data set includes ...
Effect of natural brood size variability on growth and survival of thornbird nestlings
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-09)
For many bird species, brood size is a highly variable trait. Several aspects of the development and survival of nestlings are affected by brood size. Most scientific evidence comes from brood manipulation experiments, and ...
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 ...
Brood cell size of Apis mellifera modifies the reproductive behavior of Varroa destructor
(SPRINGER, 2010)
We undertook a field study to determine whether comb cell size affects the reproductive behavior of Varroa destructor under natural conditions. We examined the effect of brood cell width on the reproductive behavior of V. ...
Structural study of the ovary, oogenesis and brooding in Tonicia lebruni (Polyplacophora Chitonidae) from Patagonia
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-10)
Tonicia lebruni, a common, lower intertidal and subtidal chiton inhabiting Patagonianrocky shores, is a gonochoristic iteroparous species producing large eggs( 400 lm in diameter), which are fertilized and brooded within ...
Brooding in Psolus patagonicus (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) from Argentina, SW Atlantic Ocean
(Springer, 2010-02)
The mode, season, and time of brooding, egg diameter, egg number per brood, and the characteristics of newly released juveniles of Psolus patagonicus were investigated off Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina, between ...
