Maternal and environmental effects on offspring phenotypes in an oviparous lizard: do field data corroborate laboratory data?

Abstract excerpt

A vast literature suggests that maternal factors and egg incubation conditions have substantial effects on offspring phenotypes in oviparous species. However, many studies that evaluate these effects have relied on experimental conditions that are rarely, if ever, encountered under natural conditions. To address this issue, we evaluated relationships among maternal factors, natural nest conditions, egg...
