Avian eggshell thickness in relation to egg morphometrics, embryonic development, and mercury contamination
Abstract Eggshell thickness is important for physiological, ecological, and ecotoxicological studies on birds; however, empirical eggshell thickness measurements for many species and regions are limited. We measured eggshell thickness at the equator and the egg poles for 12 avian species and related...
