Abstract
This publication documents a study that modeled the relationship between egg flotation and age of a developing embryo for 24 species of shorebirds. For 21 species, regression analyses was used to estimate hatching date by modeling egg angle and float height, measured as continuous variables, against embryo age.
Keywords
