(A) Productivity of asynchronously hatching clutches relative to synchronously hatching clutches (W_m/W_N) as a function of the egg on which incubation starts (m), and the daily probability of survival of nest contents prior to the onset of incubation (P_C0) for clutches of 7, as calculated from the Adult Predation model. (B) Expected lifetime reproductive success of females as a function of the egg on which incubation starts (m), and the daily probability of survival of nest contents prior to the onset of incubation (P_C0) for clutches of 7. The value P_C0 = 0.8418 was derived from field experiments (Beissinger et al. 1998)
