Phenotypic sorting in morphology and reproductive investment among sociable weaver colonies.

Oecologia - 1 Dec 2007

Spottiswoode Claire N

Abstract excerpt

Colony sizes in birds can vary by orders of magnitude within species, and many studies have shown that selection pressures differ dramatically among small and large colonies. Does such selection result in phenotypic sorting at the level of individuals? This study describes inter-colony difference...
