    Food-dependent benefits of hatching asynchrony in American kestrels Falco sparverius

    Food supply and hatching asynchrony were manipulated for 90 broods of American kestrels (Falco sparverius) during 1989–1991. We measured the growth and mortality of nestlings within four treatment groups (asynchr...
