GALDINO Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Ameivula life history Cnemidophorus reproductive cycle The reproductive ecology of Ameivula ocellifera was studied from September 2009 to August 2010 in a coastal area of the state of Ceará, Brazil. Females reproduced continuously throughout the year, with a peak at the end of the rainy season. Even though there was a predominance of pre-reproductive individuals in the sample, gonadal activity of males peaked synchronously to female reproduction. Mean clutch size was 1.98 ± 0.56 and positively associated with female body size, while mean egg volume was 510.54 ± 84.29 mm 3 and unrelated to female body size. We did not find any association between clutch size and average egg volume. 2014 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32731840021 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.86 |
