Reproductive investment in eggs can be made egalitarian or unevenly distributed within clutches. We investigated the pattern of investment in great tits (Parus major) from a Spanish population using generalized additive mixed‐effects models. Our results indicate that females consistently invest less in the first eggs.

Responsiveness to photostimulation in two passeriform birds
Two studies were performed to analyze the photoperiodic interaction of testicular growth in brahminy myna and weaver bird. In the first study, birds were exposed to stimulatory long day lengths (15L:9D) and natural day length (NDL) for 60 days. The second study investigated the interpretation of a light pulse as ‘morning (entraining)’ or ‘evening ...
