Abstract:
Identifying how reproductive strategies such as the trade-off between clutch size versus egg mass vary with elevational gradients is essential for our understanding of life-history evolution. We studied lacertid lizards (Eremias argus) in China, from six populations at different altitudes, to assess elevational variation in reproductive strategy. We found significant between-population variation in maternal body size and clutch mass, but these variations were not explained by elevational differences. However, high-elevation females tended to produce smaller clutches of larger eggs compared with their low-elevation counterparts, demonstrating an elevational change in the trade-off between egg size and number. The egg size-number trade-off is a reproductive strategy that may favor large offspring, better enabling them to survive severe and unpredictable environments found at high elevations.
