Abstract:24Egg size has a crucial impact on the reproductive success of a mother and the performance of 25 her offspring. It is therefore reasonable to employ egg size as a proxy for egg content when studying 26 variation in offspring performance. Here, we tested species differences in allometries of several egg 27 content parameters with egg area.
