Clutch size, intraclutch egg size variation, and breeding strategy in the GoldcrestRegulus regulus
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is concluded that the Goldcrest has evolved a brood reduction strategy, and the parental selection of food is adjusted to the size of the young, even in a brood with a marked size-hierarchy.
