title = "Nest attentiveness in several Neotropical suboscine passerine birds with long incubation periods",
author = "Ricklefs, {Robert E.} and Jeffrey Brawn",
note = "Many species of tropical birds have prolonged incubation periods compared to other tropical species and to most species in temperate latitudes. One hypothesis for prolonged incubation is that these tropical species reduce nest attendance to minimize the risk of predation. The resulting decrease in average egg temperature would reduce embryo growth rate and lengthen the embryo development period.",
