We investigated the effects of artificial incubation regimes, experimental temperature, and age on the locomotor performance of New Zealand's only endemic oviparous lizard, Oligosoma suteri. Artificial incubation is often used to produce founders of new populations of endangered reptiles and can have significant effect on juvenile phenotype. Eggs of 0. suteri were randomly distributed among three incubation temperatures (18, 22, 26°C).

Sprint speed increased with an increase in experimental temperature and age. After ...
