Climate change impacts on fitness depend on nesting habitat in lizards

2011-10-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Through nest‐site selection, mothers exert control over the incubation environment to which eggs are exposed, which in turn can affect offspring fitness. The strong relationship between offspring quality and incubation temperature in many ectotherms suggests that contemporary climate change could modify the fitness benefits gained from such behaviour. 2. We used life‐history data from a tropical lizard (the lon...
