- •
Incubating birds endure a range of conditions while regulating egg temperatures.
- •
Incubation profiles were determined for four tropical seabird species.
- •
They varied significantly between species.
- •
Exposed nest sites were more strongly correlated to Tas.
- •
Habitats providing suitable nest microclimates will become increasingly important.
