The Effects of Exposure and Microbes on Hatchability of Eggs in Open-Cup and Cavity Nests

Many avian species initiate incubation before clutch completion, resulting in an asynchronous hatch of their eggs. Several studies suggest that early laid eggs in birds that exhibit synchronous hatching may be more vulnerable to the negative impacts of ambient temperatures and/or trans-shell infecti...
