Patterns of Wood Duck Nest Temperatures during Egg-Laying and Incubation

We studied the thermal environment of Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) nests in southeastern British Columbia. Mean daily nest temperatures (TN) were correlated with maximum daily air temperatures. TN increased as the egg-laying period advanced among both successful and unsuccessful nests, although TN was low...
