When to reproduce? Genetic, phenotypic and environmental factors explaining the variation in timing of avian reproduction (PopByTime)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,
Adequate timing of reproduction within the season is crucial for maximising fitness. Although the literature strongly suggest that birds breeding early in the season gain a fitness advantage and that timing of breeding is a flexible decision there are emerging studies showing that breeding early is not always the best solution and that the regulation of timing of breeding is genetically programmed ...
