Hungarian and foreign researchers analyzed data from more than 2.6 million zoo births to find out whether it is truly random which gender is born more frequently among mammals and birds. The results show surprising distortions that could jeopardize the long-term success of species conservation programs. The research was published in the prestigious journal Scientific Reports.
The nests of which host species are most often chosen by birds that leave the hatching and rearing of their offspring to others? This is the question that a researcher from the University of Debrecen sought to answer in the framework of an international collaboration using data collected about more than 6,000 bird species worldwide.
