Book excerpt: Nests, Eggs, and Incubation brings together a global team of leading authorities to provide a comprehensive overview of the fascinating and diverse field of avian reproduction. Starting with a new assessment of the evolution of avian reproductive biology in light of recent research, the book goes on to cover four broad areas: the nest, the egg, incubation, and the study of avian reproduction. New research on nest structures, egg traits, and life history is incorporated, whilst contemporary methodologies such as self-contained temperature probes and citizen science are also discussed. Applied chapters describe how biological knowledge can be applied to challenges such as urbanisation and climate change. The book concludes by suggesting priorities for future research. This book builds upon the foundations laid down by Charles Deeming's 2002 work Avian Incubation (available for readers of this book to access online for free), much of which remains relevant today. Read in conjunction with this previous volume, it provides an up-to-date and thorough review of egg biology, nest function, and incubation behaviour, which will be an essential resource for students of avian biology, as well as both professional and amateur ornithologists working in the field of avian reproduction.

Book excerpt: During a breeding event, parents face several decisions that may impact their fitness. In this thesis, I have been interested in sex-ratio and sibling competition patterns in the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla). First, I showed that parents in poorer condition overproduced daughters, which seems to be due to their lower reproductive cost and, possibly, to their higher fitness return for parents as compared to sons. Then, my results suggested that the natural magnitude of hatching asynchrony minimised the costs for parents and younger siblings, while older siblings seemed to be stressed by their dominant position. Finally, mothers favoured their younger chick's competitiveness only when in conflict over brood reduction with their older chick. This thesis thus highlighted some means through which parents could maximise benefits or reduce costs associated with their reproduction.
