Although maternal environmental effects are increasingly recognized as an important source of phenotypic variation with relevant impacts in evolutionary processes, their relevance in long-lived plants
Viviparity (live-bearing) has independently evolved from oviparity (egg-laying) in more than 100 lineages of squamates (lizards and snakes). We might expect consequent shifts in selective forces to af
Summary of the results of statistical analyses of the effects of maternal basking and food availability (combinations of extended and restricted basking opportunities and food supply) during gestation
The selection of nesting sites is fundamental for the reproductive success of oviparous species. However, there are gaps regarding how animals select their reproductive sites, especially among species
