Does the use of nest materials in a ground-nesting bird result from a compromise between the risk of egg overheating and camouflage?
Many studies addressing the use of nest materials by animals have focused on only one factor to explain its function. However, the consideration of more than one factor could explain the apparently maladaptive choice of nest materials that make nests conspicuous to predators. We experimentally teste...
