Long-lasting fitness consequences of prenatal sex ratio in a viviparous lizard.
Maternal effects and early environmental conditions are important in shaping offspring developmental trajectories. For example, in laboratory mammals, the sex ratio during gestation has been shown to influence fitness-related traits via hormonal interaction between fetuses. Such effects have the pot...
