dc.description.abstract | Here, we examined the relationship between hatchling and maternal body size in the Mojave Desert tortoise Gopherus agassizii. Our results suggest that, in desert tortoises, maternal body size may indirectly influence offspring fitness via growth and survival for at least the first year of life…. | |
