The role of Intra-clutch variation of magpie clutches in foreign egg rejection depends on the egg trait considered- Dataset

This data set provides all the variables used to analyze the role of intra-clutch variation in the main host defense mechanism against brood parasitism, the rejection of foreign eggs. We measured egg color in three different parts of the egg, egg volume and the fractal dimension of spottines of eggshell<br>All the details could be find in the file entitled "Dataset_intra-clutch variation in traits_MMM".

本数据集包含用于分析窝内变异（intra-clutch variation）在宿主对抗巢寄生（brood parasitism）这一核心防御机制——外来卵排斥反应——中所发挥作用的全部变量。我们测定了卵的三个不同部位的卵色、卵体积以及卵壳斑点的分形维数（fractal dimension）。所有详细信息均可在名为"Dataset_intra-clutch variation in traits_MMM"的文件中查阅。
