The influence of egg‐size, mass and composition upon hatching success in the short‐tailed shearwater Puffinus tenuirostris (Aves: Procellariiformes)
Short‐tailed shearwaters in Bass Strait, Australia, exhibited extreme synchronicity in laying during 1991. Egg dimensions and masses varied by approximately 40% between females and were related to the date of laying but not the fate of the egg at hatching. The composition of eggs was similar to othe...
