| dc.description.abstract | Having a better understanding of the organisms in our environment is essential to
maintaining the best ecosystem possible. This study sought to determine whether house
wren eggs become lighter the later they are laid in the clutch. We used reflectance
spectrophotometry to demonstrate that eggs were not only becoming significantly lighter
as more were laid, but that the greatest significant difference came between the last two
eggs in each clutch. This may be a signaling mechanism to tell the female when to stop
laying eggs. | en_US |
