Heterogeneity in maternal mRNAs within clutches of eggs in response to thermal stress during the embryonic stage

Abstract Background The origin of variation is of central interest in evolutionary biology. Maternal mRNAs govern early embryogenesis in many animal species, and we investigated the possibility that heterogeneity in maternal mRNA provisioning of eggs can be modulated by environmental stimuli.
