Die Überschrift ist angelehnt an den Text in ScienceShot: Warmer Eggs, Better Ducks

Dass die Aussage nur in einem kleinen Temp fenster zutrifft bzw. Sinn macht, habe ich als selbstredend vorausgesetzt,

Der Volltext ist leider nicht allgemein zugänglich hier noch mal ein Ausschnitt:

Researchers incubated the eggs of wood ducks (Aix sponsa) at 35˚, 35.9˚, and 37˚C, temperatures within the normal range for eggs in the wild. When the eggs hatched, the scientists challenged the immune system of each duckling by injecting it with foreign cells. The birds that had been incubated at the lowest temperature had the least swelling at the injection site and the fewest antibodies in their blood. That indicates that their bodies were not as robustly attacking the foreign cells, the team reports today in Biology Letters. In the wild, ducklings are exposed to pathogens and parasites as soon as they hatch, and small differences in immune function could determine whether the hatchling survives or not.

Meine Bedenken an der Studie setzen ganz woanders an.

PS
"incubation temperatures can be an important driver of phenotypic variation in avian populations." ist wirklich nachvollziehbar, ja, wie könnte es auch anders sein
