Eggs of wall lizards (Podarcis muralis) were incubated at three temperatures approaching the upper limit of viability for embryonic development in this species (26, 29, and 32Β°C) to assess the influence of temperature on various aspects of hatchling phenotype likely affecting fitness. The thermal en

## Abstract Varied egg incubation temperatures can result in immediate effects on the phenotype of reptiles, and also latent effects that can augment or contradict effects evident at egg hatching. I examined the effects of incubation temperature on embryonic development, hatching morphology, and su
## Abstract We incubated eggs of __Calotes versicolor__ at four constant temperatures ranging from 24Β°C to 33Β°C to assess the effects of incubation temperature on hatching success, embryonic use of energy, and hatchling phenotypes that are likely to affect fitness.
