Egg shape variation across the distribution of the partially migratory fork‐tailed flycatcher Tyrannus savana

Egg shape variation across the distribution of the partially migratory fork‐tailed flycatcher Tyrannus savana

The evolution of egg shape across birds has been associated with breeding ecology, body shape constraints and nest microclimate, among other factors. We model the effects of migratory status, climate, clutch size and egg volume on egg shape variation over the distribution of fork‐tailed flycatchers...
