An Analysis of Great Tit Egg Traits Across the City Mosaic: Urbanisation Does Not Affect Egg Size and Pigmentation Patterns

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Based on data from over 550 great tit (Parus major) eggs collected in the city mosaic, this research finds no effect of urbanisation on egg volume or pigmentation patterns. These results suggest that urban‐driven environmental pressures may not be as strong or directional during the egg laying phase as they are at later stages of reproduction ...
