Quail eggs in artificial nests change their coloration when exposed to ambient conditions: implication for studies on nest predation
Quail eggs have been widely used in field experiments, mainly to study factors associated with the risk of nest predation. Some shortcomings of using quail eggs in this type of study have been previously addressed (e.g., these eggs might be too big for some predators of eggs of small birds). Here, w...
