High thermal plasticity, low heritability and constant directional selection on breeding phenology in a viviparous ectotherm
Our findings reveal that breeding phenology of the common lizard is shaped by strong thermal plasticity, body size effects, constant selection for earlier parturition, but low heritability. This sugg...
