  1. Summary of the (phylogenetically corrected, reasonably assuming Brownian motion given λ = 0.999995) analysis of the regression of auk and penguin embryonic developmental period (EDP) residuals (computed from the EDP predicted from egg mass) on clutch size, foraging habitat (0 = inshore, 1 = offshore), activity pattern (0 = nocturnal or crepuscular, 1 = diurnal) and nesting habits (0 = enclosed, 1 = open). The independent variables explain a large amount of the variation in EDP (r2 = 0.444949). Alpha = 28.483666 (s.e. = 5.898111), likelihood = -79.736323.
