Microstructural and crystallographic evolution of palaeognath (Aves) eggshells

Seung Choi et al.

Summary: The avian palaeognath phylogeny has been revised based on genome-wide comparative analyses, uncovering the evolution of modern dinosaur eggshells. Analysis of eggshells from various clades revealed the detailed microstructures and crystallographies of different morphotypes. The ancestral state of the palaeognath eggshells was found to be similar to the rhea-style eggshell. This study has implications for the understanding of dinosaur eggshell evolution and offers insights for various disciplines.

Functional connections between bird eggshell stiffness and nest characteristics through risk of egg collision in nests

Chih-Ming Hung et al.

Summary: This study reveals the functional connection between bird nests and eggshells, suggesting that birds produce stiffer eggs in response to higher collision risk in unstable or enclosed nests. Results indicate that the evolution of eggshell stiffness is more likely to be influenced by nest characters. The study also highlights the trade-off between competing for established nesting niches and exploring new territories for birds.

The diverse terminology of reptile eggshell microstructure and its effect on phylogenetic comparative analyses

Lucas J. Legendre et al.

Summary: This study reviews the diversity of extant and fossil eggshell, focusing on major reptile clades, and the criteria used to define hard, soft, and semi-rigid eggshells. The research demonstrates that different scoring approaches for eggshell types lead to different ancestral states for major clades, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of eggshell evolution in reptiles.

Egg Incubation Mechanics of Giant Birds

An Yen et al.

Summary: Understanding the incubation mechanics of extinct giant birds is crucial for the evolution of avian reproduction. Research shows that reversed sexual size dimorphism in moas significantly increases the safety margin of contact incubation for lighter males, but their safety margins are still smaller than those without RSSD.

Geometrical characteristics of eggs from 3 poultry species

L. C. Wang et al.

Summary: The study found high variations in egg geometrical parameters among different poultry breeds and even within the same species. Egg shape index and sphericity can be grouped together, as can geometric mean diameter, surface area, and volume. Egg weight, shell membrane weight, and calcified shell weight are significantly correlated with the geometric parameters, while shell membrane relative weight and calcified shell thickness show no significant correlations.

Evolution of eggshell structure in relation to nesting ecology in non-avian reptiles

Liliana D'Alba et al.

Summary: The study characterized the morphology and ecological data of eggs from 91 reptile species and conducted comparative analyses, revealing correlations between eggshell morphology and environmental factors. The research found that different types of reptiles have evolved distinct eggshell shapes and structures, suggesting potential tradeoffs in structure and ecology over evolutionary time.

Elastic Moduli of Avian Eggshell

Pei-Lin Chiang et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive investigation into the elastic moduli and structure-function relationships of avian eggshells based on 700 freshly-laid eggs collected over a period of seven years. The research reveals that different species have varying degrees of crystal orientation and texture in their eggshells, and the mineral content is positively correlated with the elastic modulus.
