Factors influencing double brooding in Eurasian Hoopoes Upupa epops

Double brooding may be a good strategy for short‐lived species to maximize annual and lifetime reproductive success ( ARS and LRS , respectively). Nevertheless, there is typically individual variation in the probability of producing a second clutch. Here we evaluate factors that influence the decision to double brood in the Eurasian Hoopoe U pupa epops . Analyses of an 11‐year dataset showed that 36% of the females and 21% of the males produced...
