Avian obligate brood parasitic lineages evolved variable complex polycrystalline structures to build tougher eggshells
Summary: Avian brood parasites and their hosts display varied egg-puncture behaviors, exerting asymmetric co-evolutionary selection pressures on eggshells’ breaking strength. We investigated eggshell structural and textural characteristics that may improve its mechanical performance. Parasitic eggsh...
