Nest predation and the evolution of egg appearance in passerine birds in Europe and North America
Question: Does nest predation influence egg colour appearance among North American and European passerine birds? Analyses of species that lay their eggs directly on the ground provide support for such a contention, but it is less obvious in shrub and canopy nesters. We hypothesized that if predators locate nests by egg colour, nest predation could select for eggs with a less conspicuous backgro...

متن کاملEvolution of clutch size in cavity-excavating birds: the nest site limitation hypothesis revisited.
There are two major competing hypotheses for variation in clutch size among cavity-nesting species. The nest site limitation hypothesis postulates that nesting opportunities are more limited for weak excavators, which consequently invest more in each breeding attempt by laying larger clutches. Alternatively, clutch size may be determined by diet; the clutch sizes of strong excavators may be sma...
