Tim R. Birkhead, Auteur ; Jamie E. Thompson, Auteur ; John D. Biggins, Auteur ; Robert Montgomerie, AuteurA recent broad comparative study suggested that factors during egg formation – in particular ‘flight efficiency’, which explained only 4% of the interspecific variation – are the main forces of selection on the evolution of egg shape in birds. A[...]
