Environmental and not maternal effects determine variation in offspring phenotypes in a passerine bird.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jun 2010

Mainwaring Mark C, Dickens M, Hartley I R

Abstract excerpt

Maternal and environmental effects can profoundly influence offspring phenotypes, independent of genetic effects. Within avian broods, both the asymmetric post-hatching environment created by hatching asynchrony and the differential maternal investment through the laying sequence have important c...
