Climatic niche differences among Zootoca vivipara clades with different parity modes: implications for the evolution and maintenance of viviparity
Abstract Parity mode (oviparity/viviparity) importantly affects the ecology, morphology, physiology, biogeography and evolution of organisms. The main hypotheses explaining the evolution and maintenance of viviparity are based on bioclimatic predictions and also state that the benefits of viviparity...
