Fluctuating temperatures increase energy expenditure during embryonic development in wall lizards
Amanda K. Pettersen, Andreas Nord, Geoffrey M. While, Tobias Uller This is a plain language summary of a Functional Ecology research article which can be found here. All animals undergo embryonic development from a single fertilised egg to a feeding juvenile, which is an energetically expensive period of life, and can be a bottleneck for survival. During this early development, embryos are non-feeding and rely … Continue reading Fluctuating temperatures increase energy expenditure during embryonic development in wall lizards
