Abstract
Within 45 days after an oviposition, fewer female doves which laid fertile eggs laid a subsequent clutch than did females which laid infertile eggs. During incubation the fertile eggs were replaced by infertile ones. This difference was apparently not a result of raising squabs.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
