nesttemperaturen
Nesttemperaturen refers to the thermal conditions inside a nest, which are critical for the development and survival of offspring. The temperature within a nest is shaped by ambient climate, nest architecture and materials, and behavioral regulation by the occupants. Stable nesttemperaturen support proper embryo development in eggs and healthy brood rearing in young.
In birds, eggs are incubated by parental contact, with typical incubation temperatures around 37.5–38.5°C for many
In social insects such as honeybees, the brood nest is maintained at about 34–36°C. Workers regulate temperature
Measurement and study of nesttemperaturen employ sensors and data loggers placed within or near nests, as well
Applications and implications include artificial incubation and controlled nest environments when natural conditions are insufficient, and
