Another hypothesis is that tropical and temperate species have different strategies that affect the quality and overall robustness of individual nestlings. Match each piece of evidence with the hypothesis that it supports.
1. Food-gathering time influences clutch size
2. Quality of each nestling influences clutch size

a. Tropical nestlings develop longer flight feathers and are better fliers when they leave the nest than temperate nestlings.
b. Temperate bird species make more foraging trips per day than tropical bird species.
c. Tropical bird species do not gather food at a faster rate than temperate bird species.
d. Temperate bird species have lower survival rates as adults than tropical bird species.
