Constraints and the evolution of egg size and juvenile size in amniotes
Kubát, Jan ; Kratochvíl, Lukáš (advisor) ; Hořák, David (referee)
Amniotes (mammals, reptiles including birds) exhibit wide diversity in egg/offspring size relatively to female body size. This study reviews mechanisms determining size of propagules (such as morphological or physiological constraints, trade-off between size versus number etc.). Particular attention is paid to comparison of allometric relationship in egg/offspring size among individual amniotic lineages.
