Experimental food supplementation increases reproductive effort in the Variable Antshrike in subtropical Brazil
Food limitation may interact with nest predation and influence nesting patterns, such as breeding season length and renesting intervals. If so, reproductive effort should change with food availability. Thus, when food is limited, birds should have fewer attempts and shorter seasons than when food is...
