The natural incubation period of Great Frigatebird (Fregata minor) eggs reported in the literature (55 days) was 74% longer than the value predicted from initial egg mass (89.1 g). The long incubation period was associated with a low daily water loss

data were obtained for the Sooty Tern. There are some similarities between the eggs of the two species. The sequence of events during pipping, which had an important effect on organ growth in shearwater embryos, is similar in terns and shearwaters (P

Domestic fowl embryonic oxygen consumption, organ growth and maturity, and growth abnormalities were studied after exposure to 2-, 1-, and 0.5-gauss (G) 60-Hz sinusoidal electromagnetic fields (EMF), throughout incubation. Embryonic growth and oxygen

Using a flexible piezoelectric film, the authors developed a simple system to determine noninvasively the heart rate of chicken embryos and hatchlings. The film was piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which is sensitive enough to detect car

The energy expenditure of incubating and foraging Laysan Albatross (Diomedea immutabilis, mean body weight 3.07 kg) was estimated by means of the doubly-labelled water technique. During incubation, the energy expenditure was similar to that of restin

A review of thermoregulation in marine mammals led to the following conclusions: very little is known about thermoregulation in large cetaceans. The only measured value for the metabolic rate of a whale, albeit a young one, was substantially higher t

Water loss during incubation in the eggs of seven species of terns are reported. The nesting sites ranged from a relatively cold region, southern Alaska, to a tropical climate in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. In addition, measurements of various phys

The constraints placed on diffusive gas exchange by the eggshell and the adaptive features of embryonic respiration and metabolism in large Laysan and black-footed albatross eggs (300 g) during prolonged incubation (65 days) were examined in naturall
