Temporary Mate Removal During Incubation Leads to Variable Compensation in a Biparental Shorebird

Original language description

Theoretical models predict that parents feeding offspring should partially compensate for the reduced care of their partner. However, for incubating birds, the level of compensation may depend on how reduced care changes the risk of entire brood failure, for example due to clutch predation, and on individual variation in the timing of depletion of energy stores. Although biparental incubation dominates in non-passerines, short-term manipulations of care during incubation are scarce. Here, we describe the response of 25 semipalmated sandpipers (Calidris pusilla) to an unexpected 12h absence (experimental removal) of their partner in the middle of the 21day incubation period. During the period when the removed partner would have taken over to start its regular 12h incubation bout, parents compensated partially for the absence of their partner s care (mean 59%, 95%CI 49 to 70%). However, individuals varied in their response from no to full compensation, independent of parental sex. In contrast to incuba
