Facultative adjustment of pre-fledging mass loss by nestling swifts preparing for flight
TL;DR: It is suggested that nestlings may assess their body mass relative to wing area via wing flapping and special ‘push-ups’ performed in the nest by facultatively adjusting body mass, but not wing growth, nestling swifts are always able to fledge with aerodynamically appropriate wing loadings.
Synchronisation of parental behaviours reduces the risk of nest predation in a socially monogamous passerine bird.
Konrad Leniowski,Ewa Węgrzyn +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that synchronisation of parent feeding trips significantly decreased parental activity at the nest, and nest survival time increased with the synchrony of parental feeding trips.
Chronic variable stress in fathers alters paternal and social behavior but not pup development in the biparental California mouse (Peromyscus californicus).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that chronic stress can transiently disrupt paternal and social behavior in P. californicus fathers, but does not alter pup development or survival under controlled, non-challenging laboratory conditions.
