Energetic demands during incubation and chick rearing in a uniparental and a biparental shorebird breeding in the High Arctic [PDF]

, 2009
Rearing of young has long been considered the energetically most demanding phase of the avian breeding cycle. Arctic-breeding shorebirds expend large amounts of energy during breeding.
