Laying sequence interacts with incubation temperature to influence rate of embryonic development and hatching synchrony in a precocial bird

Incubation starts during egg laying for many bird species and causes developmental asynchrony within clutches. Faster development of late-laid eggs can help reduce developmental differences and synchronize hatching, which is important for precocial species whose young must leave the nest soon after...
