Ecological and environmental factors related to variation in egg size of New World flycatchers

Abstract: N. M. Heming (heming@unb.br), Programa de P ó s-gradua ç ã o em Ecologia, IB, Univ. de Bras í lia, Bras í lia, Brazil, and Depto de Zoologia, IB, Univ. de Bras í lia, Bras í lia, Brazil. -M. Â . Marini, Depto de Zoologia, IB, Univ. de Bras í lia, Bras í lia, Brazil. Geographical variation in egg size is well documented for several taxa, but remains insuffi ciently described for birds in spite of a well-known latitudinal gradient in clutch size. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain avian egg siz… Show more

“…). Thus, we find support for the both the adult survival and advanced provisioning hypotheses (Martin ), the latter of which has gained other support (Heming and Marini , LaManna and Martin ). It is important to note that these two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive and that large tropical eggs may be a product of selection for both reduced parental effort during incubation and high quality offspring (Martin ).…”

“…Nas Américas, as espécies migratórias do Hemisfério Sul produzem tamanhos de ninhada próximos das aves residentes (Yom-Tov et al 1994). Porém, as espécies migratórias do Hemisfério Norte produzem ninhadas menores comparadas às ninhadas dos residentes (material suplementar em Heming & Marini 2015). O tamanho dos ovos é outro parâmetro reprodutivo dessa subfamília influenciado diretamente por variáveis extrínsecas e intrínsecas (Heming & Marini 2015).…”

“…Porém, as espécies migratórias do Hemisfério Norte produzem ninhadas menores comparadas às ninhadas dos residentes (material suplementar em Heming & Marini 2015). O tamanho dos ovos é outro parâmetro reprodutivo dessa subfamília influenciado diretamente por variáveis extrínsecas e intrínsecas (Heming & Marini 2015). Esses autores demonstraram que o tamanho dos ovos diminui em regiões com temperaturas mais quentes, ao passo que os ovos aumentam em volume em regiões com temperaturas mais frias.…”
