“…According to Hõrak et al (1995), "being hatched from a large egg could potentially be beneficial of the laying female, however, high investment into egg quality (size) might conflict with her own energetic demands and willingness to produce more offspring". Studies have found negative (Martin et al 2006, Bańbura et al 2018, positive (Aslan & Yavuz 2010, Dolenec 2016) and no significant correlations (Dolenec 2011, Bao et al 2020 between egg size and clutch size. Negative relationships between egg volume (or egg mass) and clutch size is consequence of compromise between egg size and clutch size with females laying numerous small or few large eggs (e.g.…”

The trade-off between egg dimensions and clutch size is an important factor in life-history theory. Compromise between egg size and clutch size has been demonstrated in many species with negative, positive and non-significant correlations. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between egg dimensions (length, breadth, volume) and clutch size in a Croatian population of the Tree Sparrow Passer montanus for their first, second and third clutches in 2019. Neither negative nor positive associations were found between clutch size and egg dimensions in this study. Results do not support predictions based on the hypothesis of compromise between egg size (egg dimensions) and the number of eggs laid per nest (optimal clutch size/egg size).

Variations in different breeding parameters in 2 adjacent populations of the Stone Curlew in Nag Valley were studied. A total of 106 active nests were spotted, with an overall mean clutch size of 1.42 eggs per nest. The nest and egg success of the Lope Valley population was 0.50 and 0.42, respectively, while the nest and egg success of the Kereichi population was 0.60 and 0.45. Poaching of eggs/chicks, habitat shrinkage, overgrazing, and fuel wood collection are thoughts to be the main factors affecting the breeding success of Stone Curlew in the area.
