Temperature-dependent rate of clutch production in a tropical lizard (Paroedura picta: Gekkonidae): Intraspecific test of the metabolic theory of ecology

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Recently, a general model based on scaling of metabolic rate and reaction kinetics that predicts dependence of various biological rates on temperature and body size has been proposed as a core of the "Metabolic Theory of Ecology" (MTE). However, its thermal component has been rarely explicitly tested and its usefulness for prediction of thermal effect on key life-history traits such as reproductive rate and hence fitness is still questionable. Here, we tested its applicability to temperature-dependent rate of clutch production in a tropical gecko. The thermal effects on reproductive rates in reptiles are only poorly known and difficult to estimate, because most species lay clutches largely infrequently. Females of the Madagascar ground gecko (Paroedurapicta) lay clutches in unusually short intervals, which allowed us to use this species as a model for estimation of dependence of rate of clutch production on temperature. We kept adult females at three constant temperatures (24, 27, 30
