Parental investment in reproduction is generally limited by the availability of food and so avian life-history research has generally focused on the brood rearing phase, when food requirements are greatest. Only relatively recently has the focus extended to the incubation phase and, even more recently, to the nest-building phase where there is now observational, comparative…
Recent studies are documenting the extent to which the mass and construction of bird nests varies between individuals and locations. In the Blue Tit ( Cyanistes caeruleus) and Great Tit ( Parus major), temperatures experienced by females during nest construction are inversely related to nest mass. Moreover, Mainwaring et al. ( Journal of Biogeography, 2012)…
Incubation in birds is energetically demanding and the energy invested to maintain egg temperature can influence the outcome of a reproductive event and therefore the lifetime reproductive success of individuals. It is reasonable that heat loss can be minimised by optimising the physical structure and location of the nest. I assessed the structural and thermal…
Some bird species place in their nests fresh green plant materials, e.g. leaves, sprigs or branches of herbs, shrubs and trees, which are not a part of the basic nest structure. These additional materials are often characterised by a high content of volatile secondary metabolites and constitute a non-random, small fraction of plants available in…
Birds may signal their condition, health or parental disposition to mates through large nests or intense or elaborate nest-building. The mass, number or elaborateness of nests may exceed their strict reproductive requirements. In several species, courtship rituals include exhibition of nesting materials to mates, and some nests are not used for breeding. Signalling through nests…
