Correlates of egg size variation in a population of house sparrow Passer domesticus.

Oecologia - 1 Feb 2013

Kvalnes Thomas, Ringsby Thor Harald, Jensen Henrik, Sæther Bernt-Erik

Abstract excerpt

Propagule size represents an important life-history trait under maternal control. Despite a positive relationship between propagule size and components of fitness, propagule size displays tremendous amounts of variation which causes are poorly understood within natural populations. With a study of a house sparrows Passer domesticus, we investigate maternal and environmental correlates of egg size, quantify...
