Adaptation and constraint in the growth pattern of lapwing Vanellus vanellus chicks
The growth and development of lapwing chicks were studied on farmland in Central Scotland. Selective pressures and constraints imposed by initial priority, limited resources and limitations of the food processing efficiency of the chicks explain the general growth pattern. Those structures with a hi...
