Members of this genus frequently neglect their eggs for a few days, and their mean incubation shifts are long (mean = 3 days, range = 1 6 days, [40]) compared to other members of the auk family.
The model receiving greatest support suggested that the proportion of eggs neglected on a given night was related to the full model with wind speed, moon phase and cloud opacity (Table 1).
We modeled the proportion of parents returning to their nests and the proportion of eggs neglected (i.e. left unincubated for a period of at least 24 h) as a function of weather conditions.
The number of chicks (0, 1 or 2) that departed per pair (n = 41 in 2007, n = 35 in 2008) was best predicted by egg volume index, nest specific correlation coefficients (pair synchrony) and days of egg neglected.
But don't neglect your nest egg.
Bubble tea, fried tortilla chips and salsa, panna cotta, Greek salad and a perfect egg omelet are all dependent on this neglected quality.
A clutch consists of 1 to 2 white, lustreless eggs, although the second chick is in most cases neglected and perishes in infancy.

While writing today's $25 & Under about Egg – a mighty fine place for a Southern dinner – I neglected to mention that the restaurant has been a breakfast institution for the past few years.
