Incubation behavior adjustments, driven by ambient temperature variation, improve synchrony between hatch dates and caterpillar peak in a wild bird population
For organisms living in seasonal environments, synchronising the peak energetic demands of reproduction with peak food availability is a key challenge. Understanding the extent to which animals can adjust behaviour to optimise reproductive timing, and the cues they use to do this, is essential for p...
