Effect of light intensity in the nest site on eggshell pigmentation in a hole-nesting passerine
Abstract Daylight is an important factor necessary for the proper embryonic development of birds, which raises the question, what happens when birds nest in relatively dim sites? The study experimentally tested whether there is a relationship between light conditions at the nesting site and the prot...
