Variability in seed size selection by granivorous passerines: effects of bird size, bird size variability, and ecological plasticity
✍ Mario Díaz 📂 Article 📅 1994 🏛 Springer-Verlag 🌐 English ⚖ 591 KB

The niche variation hypothesis predicts a direct relationship between intraspecific variability in feeding ecology and the variability of the morphological traits related to feeding behaviour. The following study tests this prediction by measuring in captivity the seed size preferences and the morph

A central dogma for the evolution of brain size posits that the maintenance of large brains incurs developmental costs, because they need prolonged periods to grow during the early ontogeny. Such constraints are supported by the interspecific relationship between ontological differences and relative
