The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Ecogeographical rules: elements of a synthesis (2008, background): “In some cases the traits are expressed at the level of the individual organism, mirroring those examined intraspecifically, with the values typically being derived as means or medians across multiple individuals (e.g. body size, metabolic rate, clutch size, thermal tolerance; Kulesza, 1990; Hawkins ”
Animal migration: is there a common migratory syndrome? (2006, background): “Among North American and European land birds, short-distance migrants had smaller clutches but more broods than residents, with both groups having the same annual fecundity (Böhning-Gaese et al. 2000).”
Bird migration in the southern hemisphere: a review comparing continents (2008, background): “This result is thus not consistent with the pattern seen in Europe andNorthAmericawheremigrants tend to produce fewer but larger clutches (Böhning-Gaese et al. 2000).”
