The diverse terminology of reptile eggshell microstructure and its effect on phylogenetic comparative analyses
Reptile eggshell ensures water and gas exchange during incubation and plays a key role in
reproductive success. The diversity of reptilian incubation and life history strategies has led …

Geographical bias in physiological data limits predictions of global change impacts
Climate affects all aspects of biology. Physiological traits play a key role in mediating these
effects, because they define the fundamental niche of each organism. Climate change is …

The evolution of eggshell cuticle in relation to nesting ecology
Avian eggs are at risk of microbial infection prior to and during incubation. A large number of
defence mechanisms have evolved in response to the severe costs imposed by these …
