In ectotherms, environmental temperature is the most prominent abiotic factor that modulates
life-history traits. We explored the influence of environmental temperature on reproduction in …

Temperature is a key abiotic factor that influences performance of several physiological traits
in ectotherms. Organisms regulate their body temperature within a range of temperatures to …

We used the northern grass lizard Takydromus septentrionalis as a model animal to
examine the energy allocation strategy and whether body temperature can affect maternal …

In ectothermic species, females often produce larger eggs in colder environments. Models
based on energetic constraints suggest that this pattern is an adaptation to compensate for …

Recently, a general model based on scaling of metabolic rate and reaction kinetics that
predicts dependence of various biological rates on temperature and body size has been …

Climatic variation can impact populations of ectotherms by altering reproduction,
development, and survival. While a warm climate can provide additional thermal …

Reproduction is an energetically costly activity that can alter thermal requirements in
Squamata. This phenomenon has been largely studied in many viviparous species; …

The thermal environment can induce substantial variation in important life-history traits.
Experimental manipulation of the thermal environment can help researchers determine the …

Body temperature is a key factor in physiological processes, influencing lizard
performances; and life history traits are expected to generate variability of thermal …

Temperature plays a crucial role for ectotherm performance and thus for fitness. Terrestrial
ectotherms, including reptiles, regulate their body temperature mainly by behavioural …
