N = 307 median z-transformed incubation temperatures per incubation bout from 14 nests. Fixed effects, except sex, were mean centered (culmen and body mass were centered within each sex). Median incubation temperatures were calculated from raw incubation temperature-values z-transformed within each nest. Results of the model without confounding variables are presented in Supplementary Table S1.
