"[T]his is very readable book and I would recommend it to anybody interested in birds or parental care. ... No matter whether you are a professional or an amateur, you will enjoy reading it and appreciate the amount of information that you can find in it." --Journal of Field Ornithology "[A] perfect introduction to the subject for hobbyists, professionals and academics." --The Biologist, "[T]his is very readable book and I would recommend it to anybody interested in birds or parental care. ...

In conclusion, the book provides a major contribution to avian biology, and is suitable for biologists and researchers." -- Journal of Wildlife Management "Make no mistake, this book is aimed at ornithologists, birds being its entire focus, and is certainly essential for anyone studying avian reproduction. That being said, chapters within will make valuable reading for natural historians, behavioral ecologists, vertebrate physiologists, and evolutionary biologists, regardless of their taxonomic interests." -- NEW BIOLOGICAL BOOKS "This is an excellent volume that I highly recommend for both professionals and amateurs ... an edited volume can provide the synthesis and integration to move a field forward by summarizing hypotheses and framing future work. This book, with only a few exceptions, accomplishes all of these tasks and will fill an excellent niche into the future." -- The Auk, "This book does an excellent job of incorporating new advances in the field of avian incubation, yet it is far more than simply an update of Deemings previous publication [...] chapters within will make valuable reading for natural historians, behavioral ecologists, vertebrate physiologists, and evolutionary biologists, regardless of their mtaxonomic interests. For nonornithologists, perhaps largely for those focused on vertebrates, this volume contains the necessary introduction to the evolution and physiology of avian incubation that will allow all readers to make useful comparisons with, and gain valuable insight into, their own areas of interest." -- Harold F.

"All in all, this was a joy to read, very nicely produced by OUP, and well worth the investment as it is absolutely bulging with new facts and ideas. It will certainly stimulate a whole lot of new studies - which must surely be the definition of a great book!" --BTO Book Reviews, "[T]his is very readable book and I would recommend it to anybody interested in birds or parental care. ...

Synopsis
Provide a new overview of the field which builds on the foundations laid down by Charles Deemings 2001 work Avian Incubation (now freely available for download at: www.oup.co.uk/companion/avianincubation2002), much of which remains relevant today., Nests, Eggs, and Incubation brings together a global team of leading authorities to provide a comprehensive overview of the fascinating and diverse field of avian reproduction. Starting with a new assessment of the evolution of avian reproductive biology in light of recent research, the book goes on to cover four broad areas: the nest, the egg, incubation, and the study of avian reproduction. New research on nest structures, egg traits, and life history is incorporated, whilst contemporary methodologies such as self-contained temperature probes and citizen science are also discussed. Applied chapters describe how biological knowledge can be applied to challenges such as urbanisation and climate change. The book concludes by suggesting priorities for future research. This book builds upon the foundations laid down by Charles Deeming's 2002 work Avian Incubation (available for readers of this book to access online for free), much of which remains relevant today. Read in conjunction with this previous volume, it provides an up-to-date and thorough review of egg biology, nest function, and incubation behaviour, which will be an essential resource for students of avian biology, as well as both professional and amateur ornithologists working in the field of avian reproduction.
