Clutch Frequency Affects the Offspring Size-Number Trade-Off in Lizards
BACKGROUND: Studies of lizards have shown that offspring size cannot be altered by manipulating clutch size in species with a high clutch frequency. This raises a question of whether clutch frequency has a key role in influencing the offspring size-number trade-off in lizards. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL...
