Moreover, larvae are less likely to cannibalize related than non-related eggs [ 34].
The vertical distribution of pelagic eggs was determined by a set of interacting biological and physical parameters related to eggs (density, diameter) and ambient seawater (density, viscosity, turbulence), respectively.
In chickens, Wolc et al. (2011) tested 16 traits related to eggs and chicken body size with 23 356 SNP genotypes using 2708 individuals derived from a single blown egg-layer line.
The outbreak, which federal officials said was the largest of its type related to eggs in years, began in May, just weeks before new government safety rules went into effect that were intended to greatly reduce the risk of salmonella in eggs.

S. Enteritidis is particularly related to eggs [ 26- 28].
Although parasitized brambling populations should experience considerable variance in relative fitness related to egg color (Figure 2B, 2D), cuckoo eggs appear to be equally well adapted to each of three distant brambling populations (Figure 3).
The idea that older birds have higher success is also supported by the relationship between egg size and desertion in this study (desertion probability inversely related to egg size), as older auks are known to lay larger eggs [81], [82].
This lack of a clear relationship between avian groups and egg shape, and the unusual nature of avian egg shape compared to all other egg-laying vertebrates made the researchers think something else could be related to egg shape.
Given that there were no differences in egg size across landscape types or host plant treatment groups, these results indicate egg provisioning differences between treatment groups that are over and above those related to egg size per se.
Given that there were no differences in egg size across flight treatment groups, these results strongly indicate egg provisioning differences between flight treatment groups that are over and above those related to egg size per se.
