Density dependence of clutch size and offspring sex ratio in starling colonies
Optimal life‐history theory predicts that individuals should adjust both the number and the sex of their offspring to maximize fitness in response to environmental and social factors such as breeding density. While reductions in optimal clutch size are well‐studied in birds, the evidence for sex rat...
