Manipulating developmental stress reveals sex-specific effects of egg size on offspring phenotype.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2011

Love O P, Williams T D

Abstract excerpt

The general lack of experimental evidence for strong, positive effects of egg size on offspring phenotype has led to suggestions that avian egg size is a neutral trait. To better understand the functional significance of intra-specific variation in egg size as a determinant of offspring fitness within a life-history (sex-specific life-history strategies) and an environmental (poor rearing conditions) context, we...
