Hypothesis that species with high maintenance costs are less likely to invest more energy into reproduction is tested. In squamates, snakes (low maintenance costs), invest more energy per reproductive episode than lizards (high maintenance) #MUevolution18

species or taxa with high maintenance costs would be less likely to invest more energy in reproduction or to evolve an energetically more expensive mode of reproduction. Researchers used data on standard metabolic rate. https://t.co/uxiawhKNvD #MUevolutio
