This week we welcome our own Bob Montgomerie.
The enduring enchantment of birds’ eggs
Birds’ eggs are some of the most variable and beautiful natural objects, but only recently has there been any attempt to explain that variation. In this talk I will summarize the history of egg collecting and explore some recent research on variation in the shape and colour of avian eggs, including our own experimental and comparative studies of robins, alcids and penguins.

Hi EEB seminars,
In the pre-EEB slides there is a request for interesting or humorous material. I offer the attached photo of Bob Montgomerie in the arctic on a big wheel ATV with his lab group about 30 years ago. Perhaps you could post this with the question âCan you name this man?â (arrow pointing to the bearded one on the left) or âdo you recognize anyone here?â. It might provide a fun intro to Bobâs talk next week.
