Maternal nutrition affects reproductive output and sex allocation in a lizard with environmental sex determination.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Mar 2007

Warner Daniel A, Lovern Matthew B, Shine Richard

Abstract excerpt

Life-history traits such as offspring size, number and sex ratio are affected by maternal feeding rates in many kinds of animals, but the consequences of variation in maternal diet quality (rather than quantity) are poorly understood. We manipulated dietary quality of reproducing female lizards (Amphibolurus muricatus; Agamidae), a species with temperature-dependent sex determination, to examine strategies of...
