Maternal warming influences reproductive frequency, but not hatchling phenotypes in a multiple-clutched oviparous lizard.

Abstract excerpt

The understanding of life-history responses to increased temperature is helpful for evaluating the potential of species for tackling future climate change. Herein, adult southern grass lizards, Takydromus sexlineatus, were maintained under two thermal regimes simulating current thermal environment and a 4 °C warming scenario to determine the effects of experimental warming on female reproduction and offspring...
