Nest Attendance, Incubation Constancy, and Onset of Incubation in Dabbling Ducks
May 31, 2023
This dataset includes daily nest attendance (proportion of time females spent at the nest), incubation constancy (proportion of time females maintained their nests at nest-specific incubation temperatures), nest temperature variation, and the duration of individual incubation bouts for three species of dabbling ducks (mallard, gadwall, and cinnamon teal) nesting in Suisun Marsh, California during 2015-2019.
These data support the following publication:
Hartman, C.A., Ackerman, J.T., Peterson, S.H., Fettig, B., Casazza, M. and Herzog, M.P., 2023. Nest attendance, incubation constancy, and onset of incubation in dabbling ducks. Plos one, 18(5), p.e0286151. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0286151.

Nest attendance, incubation constancy, and onset of incubation in dabbling ducks
In birds, parents must provide their eggs with a safe thermal environment suitable for embryonic development. Species with uniparental incubation must balance time spent incubating eggs with time spent away from the nest to satisfy self-maintenance needs. Patterns of nest attendance, therefore, influence embryonic development and the time it takes for eggs to hatch. We studied nest attendance (tim
