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 …

Epigenetics represents a widely accepted set of mechanisms by which organisms respond
to the environment by regulating phenotypic plasticity and life history transitions …

Incubation temperature influences hatchling phenotypes such as sex, size, shape, color,
behavior, and locomotor performance in many reptiles, and there is growing concern that …

Early life environments shape phenotypic development in important ways that can lead to
long‐lasting effects on phenotype and fitness. In reptiles, one aspect of the early …

Recent models predict contrasting impacts of climate change on tropical and temperate
species, but these models ignore how environmental stress and organismal tolerance …

This book is comprised of 12 chapters covering topics in reptilian incubation. The chapters
are written by several authors. This book is aimed at serving as a valuable reference text for …

To understand how selection shapes life-history traits, we need information on the manner in
which offspring phenotypes influence fitness. Life-history allocation models typically assume …

We review the ecological consequences of habitat and microhabitat use in lizards. Different
habitats have different biotic and abiotic properties and thus are likely to have different …

To understand the process of natural selection, relationships between phenotype and fitness
and sources of phenotypic variation must be known. We examined the importance of …

Temperatures experienced during embryonic development elicit well-documented
phenotypic variation in embryonic and neonatal animals. Most research, however, has only …
