Highlights

We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.

    Adaptive variation in avian eggshell gas conductance and structure across elevational gradients?

    David Ocampo, Carlos Daniel Cadena ... Gustavo A Londoño
    In Neotropical birds, eggshells show that water vapor conductance declines with elevation, but structural responses vary across species, suggesting no single underlying mechanism and highlighting the need to further evaluate eggshell traits as determinants of elevational limits.
