Eggshell morphology and gekkotan life-history evolution
DA Pike, RM Andrews, WG Du - Evolutionary Ecology, 2012 - Springer
Eggshell structure is related to fundamental aspects of embryonic development (via water
and gas exchange), adult ecology and behavior (via nest site selection), and demography …

Thermal dependence of reproductive allocation in a tropical lizard
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 …

Is the evolution of viviparity accompanied by a relative increase in maternal abdomen size in lizards?
YY Sun, Y Du, J Yang, TB Fu, CX Lin, X Ji - Evolutionary Biology, 2012 - Springer
Female reptiles with viviparous reproduction should leave space for their eggs that reach the
maximum mass and volume in the oviducts. Is the evolution of viviparity accompanied by a …

Temperature-dependent rate of clutch production in a tropical lizard (Paroedura picta: Gekkonidae): intraspecific test of the metabolic theory of ecology
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 …

Overlap of Female Reproductive Cycles Explains Shortened Interclutch Interval in a Lizard with Invariant Clutch Size (Squamata: Gekkonidae: Paroedura picta)
H Weiser, Z Starostová, L Kubička… - Physiological and …, 2012 - journals.uchicago.edu
Variable clutch size is unambiguously an ancestral state in reptiles. Only several lizard
lineages have evolved so-called invariant clutch size, where all females lay just one or two …
