Download or read book Nests, Eggs, and Incubation written by D. Charles Deeming and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avian incubation is a critical part of reproduction and was extensively covered in the OUP book 'Avian Incubation' published in 2002. This new book updates the older one by introducing new concepts that have arisen over the intervening years as well as updating key areas of research. The new book does not replace 'Avian Incubation' but, rather, reinforces and supplements it. Therefore, this book covers four key areas: nest, eggs, incubation, and the study of avian reproduction. It collates and describes a range of recent developments in avian reproduction and brings the field right up to date.
