Heterozygosity predicts clutch and egg size but not plasticity in a house sparrow population with no evidence of inbreeding.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jan 2012

Wetzel Daniel P, Stewart Ian R K, Westneat David F

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the link between heterozygosity and the reaction norm attributes of reproductive performance in female house sparrows (Passer domesticus). We collected data on clutch size, egg size, hatching success and nestling survival in 2816 nesting attempts made by 791 marked individuals ove...
