Evidence of incubation trade‐offs in Leach's Storm‐Petrel ( Oceanodroma leucorhoa): ptilochronology as a measure of reproductive investment in a long‐lived seabird
Avian incubation investment represents a trade‐off between the energetic demands of the parent and the thermal needs of the embryo. Parental energy balance and investment in somatic maintenance relative to incubation investment can be indexed by the rate of feather growth. Feather growth rates, or p...
