Abstract: Abstract. We provide information on the onset of incubation, the involvement of males and females in incubation, and on the hatching pattern in the Rufous Vanga Schetba rufa of Madagascar. Rufous Vangas breed cooperatively with one to four one-year-old and/or adult auxiliary males. Large amounts of time were spent in incubation from the date the first-egg was laid. Breeding male Rufous Vangas took a much greater share of incubation during the laying period than did females, but males and females took almost eq… Show more

“…Thus the fitness benefits for parents starting incubation earlier seems equivocal. Additionally, some studies show that there is a considerable intraspecific variation in incubation and hatching pattern, even within the same population breeding in the same site-a number of females hatch their eggs synchronously while the others do the opposite (Eguchi and Yamagishi 2002;Kontiainen et al 2010). Such findings lends no support to the tested hypothesis because predation pressure is expected to be similar for all females nesting in a given environment.…”
