Red-backed shrikes' breeding strategy and brain size
Delve into the latest discoveries about bird behaviour! 🐦 Our study published in Integrative Zoology unveils the intricate links between brain size, breeding strategies, and nesting success in red-backed shrikes Lanius collurio, offering fresh insights into these fascinating creatures' decision-making processes. Discover how the timing of the first egg-laying date is linked to female head size, hinting at potential connections between cognitive abilities and the breeding season, and how nest concealment influences breeding success depending on male's head size. The study was funded by National Sciece Centre, Poland, under a grant 2017/25/N/NZ8/00822.
