Add to ORKGAbstract The strategy of relying extensively on stored resources for reproduction has been termed capital breeding and is in contrast to income breeding, where needs of repro-duction are satisWed by exogenous (dietary) resources. Most species likely fall somewhere between these two extremes, and the position of an organism along this gradi-ent can inXuence several key life-history traits. Common eiders (Somateria mollissima) are the only Xying birds that are still typically considered pure capital breeders, suggest-ing that they depend exclusively on endogenous reserves to form their eggs and incubate. We investigated the annual and seasonal variation in contributions of endogenous and exogenous resources to egg formation in eiders breeding...
