  27. <meta content="1. The effects of external conditions on embryonic development have been repeatedly
  28. examined in oviparous reptile species, but the effect of gestation conditions on offspring
  29. traits in viviparous species has rarely been examined.
  30. 2. The influence of maternal basking opportunities on gestation length and juvenile
  31. phenotype was investigated in a viviparous scincid lizard,
  32. Niveoscincus ocellatus. Females were housed under one of two experimental regimes (10 or 4 h access to basking) which
  33. reflected the natural variation in temperature, potentially one of the most important
  34. proximate sources of life-history variation.
  35. 3. Females with longer access to basking gave birth significantly earlier than those
  36. with reduced basking opportunities. Maternal access to basking significantly affected
  37. the phenotype and growth rate of her offspring.
  38. 4. Offspring born after relatively rapid development were longer, heavier and in better
  39. condition than offspring born after slower development.
  40. 5. In standard laboratory conditions, offspring born after rapid development grew
  41. more rapidly than those born after slower development, thus amplifying the difference in
  42. body size between these two groups postpartum.
  43. 6. These results suggest the existence of a strong selective pressure on female basking
  44. behaviour through the effect of the maternal environment on embryo development
  45. and offspring phenotype and highlight the role of temperature as a proximate source
  46. of variation in both the timing of reproductive events and in key life-history traits of
  47. neonates.

The effects of external conditions on embryonic development have been repeatedly&#13;
  421. examined in oviparous reptile species, but the effect of gestation conditions on offspring&#13;
  422. traits in viviparous species has rarely been examined.&#13;
  423. 2. The influence of maternal basking opportunities on gestation length and juvenile&#13;
  424. phenotype was investigated in a viviparous scincid lizard,&#13;
  425. Niveoscincus ocellatus. Females were housed under one of two experimental regimes (10 or 4 h access to basking) which&#13;
  426. reflected the natural variation in temperature, potentially one of the most important&#13;
  427. proximate sources of life-history variation.&#13;
  428. 3. Females with longer access to basking gave birth significantly earlier than those&#13;
  429. with reduced basking opportunities. Maternal access to basking significantly affected&#13;
  430. the phenotype and growth rate of her offspring.&#13;
  431. 4. Offspring born after relatively rapid development were longer, heavier and in better&#13;
  432. condition than offspring born after slower development.&#13;
  433. 5. In standard laboratory conditions, offspring born after rapid development grew&#13;
  434. more rapidly than those born after slower development, thus amplifying the difference in&#13;
  435. body size between these two groups postpartum.&#13;
  436. 6. These results suggest the existence of a strong selective pressure on female basking&#13;
  437. behaviour through the effect of the maternal environment on embryo development&#13;
  438. and offspring phenotype and highlight the role of temperature as a proximate source&#13;
  439. of variation in both the timing of reproductive events and in key life-history traits of&#13;
  440. neonates.&#13;
