Energetics of growth and body size in the lizard Sceloporus undulatus: Implications for geographic variation in life history.
The fence lizard, Sceloporus undulatus, provides a unique opportunity to investigate the causes of phenotypic variation, because it ranges over half of North America and life history traits vary by as much as twofold among populations.
Sceloporus undulatus exhibits latitudinal patterns of life history that are consistent with those observed in many ectotherms; lizards at low latitudes exhibit fast growth, early maturity and small body size, relative to lizards at high latitudes.

Due to an erroneous report of a 2n = 30 for Sceloporus undulatus by Painter (1921), I had expected to find this variation in the undulatus group, and the 1966 field work was largely planned to test this possibility.

I evaluated possible constraints on the evolution of viviparity in the lizard genus Sceloporus by experimentally extending the length of egg retention past the normal time of oviposition for a number of oviparous species.
I also tested the hypothesis that reproductive Sceloporus lower their body temperatures during activity because their normal body temperatures are detrimental to embryos.
Observations on a viviparous species of Sceloporus indicated that the normal body temperature of the female was detrimental to embryonic development.
