The duration of the developmental period represents a fundamental axis of life-history variation, yet broad insights regarding the drivers of this diversity are currently lacking. Here, we test mechanistic and ecological explanations for the evolutio... Read More about Ecology and allometry predict the evolution of avian developmental durations.
