The allocation between egg size and clutch size depends on local nest survival rate in a mean of bet-hedging in a shorebird

The allocation between egg size and clutch size depends on local nest survival rate in a mean of bet-hedging in a shorebird

Abstract Background The allocation of resources between offspring size and number is a central question of life-history theory. Although several studies have tested the existence of this trade-off, few studies have investigated how environmental variation influences the allocation of resources to of...
