Interindividual variation in yolk mass and the rate of growth of ovarian follicles in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata).

Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology - 1 Apr 2001

Christians J K, Williams T D

Abstract excerpt

The amount of resources invested in an individual egg yolk must be determined by its rate of growth and/or the duration of growth. We examined interindividual variation in the growth rate of yolks by injecting radiolabeled amino acid into breeding female zebra finches and measuring the activity associated with protein in the yolks of eggs laid subsequently. We predicted that (1) there would be a positive...
