Variability in Avian Eggshell Colour: A Comparative Study of Museum Eggshells

PLoS ONE, 2010
The exceptional diversity of coloration found in avian eggshells has long fascinated biologists and inspired a broad range of adaptive hypotheses to explain its evolution. Three main impediments to understanding the variability of eggshell appearance are: (1) the reliable quantification of the variation in eggshell colours; (2) its perception by birds ...
