This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Court Feed Glavan and Sanz 2011, makes sense because bigger females have more energy reserves but which are "weaker findings" than the "incubation findings", species in which only females incubate eggs & which were "mate-fed" during incubation eat Grains / seeds (see "diet"; Table 1), clutch size (Table 2) which makes sense because bigger females have more energy reserves (that can be used to produce more eggs)., 3 Hypotheses were tested including 3. The Nutrition Hypothesis, mate-feeding was not correlated with either # of clutches (broods) per nesting season, the most important results for "incubation feeding" and are "stronger findings" than the "courtship findings", species in which only females incubate eggs & which were "mate-fed" during incubation have higher hatching success (Fig. 1; Table 2b), "Meta-analysis" of previously published data regarding Feeding of the Female Mate During Egg-laying ("Courtship") & Incubation phases of the nesting cycle, nests that are higher off the ground (Table 1) which means they are less exposed to predators, mate-feeding was not correlated with either "colonial" nesting system, 1. The Mate Appraisal Hypothesis (females assessing males) which states females evaluate the parental ability of males based on their ability to feed her, 2. The Pair Bond Hypothesis which states feeding contributes to the strength of a pair's relationship, Grains / seeds (see "diet"; Table 1) which provide less nutritional value compared ot insects, higher hatching success (Fig. 1; Table 2b) which are the most important results for "incubation feeding", supported by the mathematical model because species in which only females incubate eggs & which were "mate-fed" during incubation, supported by the mathematical model because species in which only females build the nest & which were "courtship fed" during egg-laying (= "courtship"), species in which only females build the nest & which were "courtship fed" during egg-laying (= "courtship") exhibit a correlation between Female body mass, means they are less exposed to predators and thereby experience lower predation rates, clutch size (# eggs / nest) (Table 2a) which makes sense because bigger females have more energy reserves, a correlation between Female body mass and egg mass (size of each egg) (Table 2a)
