Double Jeopardy and the Parameterization of Brood Reduction Models: A Comment on Mock and Forbes (1994)

Mock and Forbes' (1994) argument that effects on long-term fitness should be considered in studies of hatching asynchrony is examined. Stoleson used the same mathematical model as Mock and Forbes to calculate the ratio of fitness payoffs for parents using a brood-survival strategy vs a brood-re...
