According to 2014 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=128); and 2015 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=88); results no statistical difference could be observed between incubation periods insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P >0.05);.The excess eggs during incubation are protected by northern bald ibises which does not have any nest insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(altruism);.
