The use of the nest for parental roosting and thermal consequences of the nest for nestlings and parents

ABSTRACT: At temperate latitudes, altricial birds and their nestlings need to handle night temperatures well below thermoneutrality during the breeding season. Thus, energy costs of thermoregulation might constrain nestling growth, and low nocturnal temperatures might require resources that parents...
