    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.

    Investments in photoreceptors compete with investments in optics to determine eye design

    Francisco JH Heras, Simon B Laughlin
    Allocating space, materials and energy to an eye's optics and photoreceptor array is a major factor in eye design that explains obvious differences between simple eyes and compound eyes.
