Latitudinal variation in biophysical characteristics of avian eggshells to cope with differential effects of solar radiation
Solar radiation is an important driver of animal coloration, not only because of the effects of coloration on body temperature but also because coloration may protect from the deleterious effects of UV radiation. Indeed, dark coloration may protect from UV, but may increase the risk of overheating....
