Developmental temperatures and phenotypic plasticity in reptiles: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Early environments can profoundly influence an organism in ways that persist over its life. In
reptiles, early thermal environments (nest temperatures) can impact offspring phenotype and …

The behavioural and physiological strategies of bird and reptile embryos in response to unpredictable variation in nest temperature
Temperature profoundly affects the rate and trajectory of embryonic development, and
thermal extremes can be fatal. In viviparous species, maternal behaviour and physiology …

Thermoregulatory behaviour limits local adaptation of thermal niches and confers sensitivity to climate change
1. Thermoregulation buffers environmental variation, which enables a species to persist
during climate change but ultimately hinders adaptation of thermal tolerance by weakening …

Rapid change in the thermal tolerance of a tropical lizard
The predominant view is that the thermal physiology of tropical ectotherms, including lizards,
is not labile over ecological timescales. We used the recent introduction (∼ 35 years ago) of …

Thermal spikes from the urban heat island increase mortality and alter physiology of lizard embryos
Effects of global change (ie urbanization, climate change) on adult organisms are readily
used to predict the persistence of populations. However, effects on embryo survival and …

Adaptive responses of the embryos of birds and reptiles to spatial and temporal variations in nest temperatures
Natural nests of egg-laying birds and reptiles exhibit substantial thermal variation, at a range
of spatial and temporal scales. Rates and trajectories of embryonic development are highly …

The frequency and magnitude of heat waves have increased in recent decades, imposing
additional stresses on organisms in extreme environments. Most reptilian embryos are …

Thermal variability during ectotherm egg incubation: a synthesis and framework
Natural populations of ectothermic oviparous vertebrates typically experience thermal
variability in their incubation environment. Yet an overwhelming number of laboratory …

Variation in thermal traits describing sex determination and development in Western Australian sea turtle populations
Both the development rate and sex of sea turtle embryos depend on incubation temperature,
as all species of sea turtle are ectotherms and show temperature‐dependent sex …

Cold climate specialization: adaptive covariation between metabolic rate and thermoregulation in pregnant vipers
We compared thermoregulatory strategies during pregnancy in two congeneric viperid
snakes (Vipera berus and Vipera aspis) with parapatric geographic ranges. V. berus is a …
