Does the variance of incubation temperatures always constitute a significant selective force for origin of reptilian viviparity?
To test the hypothesis that the variance of incubation temperature may have constituted a significant selective force for reptilian viviparity, we incubated eggs of the slender forest skink Scincella modesta in five thermally different natural nests and at two constant temperatures (18 °C and 21 °C)...
