King Rail and Common Moorhen egg pattern matching data
<p>This dataset is a combination of egg images and processed output on pattern matching of eggshell surfaces from the images using NaturePatternMatch (NPM), additional data extracted from NPM, and field data. The data are separated into four folders based on species and analyses performed. There are two folders of scaled single egg images, one for King Rails, Rallus elegans, and one for Common Moorhens, Gallinula chloropus chloropus. Each photograph is identified by year, clutch and egg identity. Most of the Common Moorhen eggs are numbered in the order of their laying sequence, and they are further identified by laying hen. The NMDS folder includes NPM matching output and clutch identities needed to perform NMDS and PERMANOVA analyses. It includes consolidated and organized output from NPM for each species as well as files with clutch names needed to create merged datasets for graphing. These data were used to perform non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and permutational analysis of variance (PERMANOVA). The Linear Discriminant Analyses folder includes field data (egg length, width, and identity), pattern data extracted from NPM, as well as the estimated proportion of pigment measured within a scaled oval on binary images of eggs. This was used as a proxy for the relative amount of pigmentation on each egg. These data were used to conduct linear discriminant analyses for each species.</p>

Data from: Plasticity in incubation behavior and shading by king rails (Rallus elegans) in response to temperature
King rails experience a wide range of temperatures during the course of the breeding season throughout their rapidly contracting geographic range. Incubating parent birds are adapted to keep their eggs within a temperature range appropriate for embryo development, but king rail clutches are at risk of exceeding lethal temperatures in the latter half of the nesting season. We investigated whether behavioral plasticity during incubation enables parents to maintain clutch temperature within tolerable limits for embryo development. Video revealed that king rail parents interrupted incubation to stand above and shade their eggs. We tested the hypothesis that the onset of shading was a direct response to ambient temperature (adaptive plasticity). We monitored clutch temperature directly by experimentally adding into clutches a model egg embedded with a programmable iButton. We measured ambient temperature at the nest site simultaneously. Parents spent proportionately more time shading and less time incubating their eggs at higher ambient temperatures. Shading may primarily function in cooling the parent. The frequency and duration of shading bouts were significantly greater at higher ambient temperatures. Parents also took more frequent but shorter recesses in hotter conditions. Diurnal recesses exposed eggs to direct sunlight, and the highest clutch temperatures were recorded under these conditions. Complete hatching failure in at least one nest was attributable to high clutch temperature for an extended period. Because mean ambient temperature increases throughout the breeding season, we investigated seasonal patterns in onset of incubation and its effect on hatching rate. Later in the season, parents tended to initiate incubation earlier, and hatching asynchrony increased significantly. Together these results suggest that breeding king rails may be constrained in their ability to cope with sustained high temperatures should seasonal averages continue to rise as predicted.
