Dark nests and egg colour in birds: a possible functional role of ultraviolet reflectance in egg detectability

Owing to the conspicuousness of ultraviolet (UV) colour in dark environments, natural selection might have selected UV egg coloration because it would enhance egg detectability by parents in murky nests. Here, we tested this hypothesis by using comparative and experimental approaches. First, we stud...
