“…It is noteworthy that females of A. costatus costatus have a similar mean clutch size (6.5) and a smaller mean SVL (91.2 mm) compared with the southern Mexican congener A. communis (Cope, 1878) (mean clutch size 6.6 eggs, mean SVL 96.5, Walker 1982), and a larger clutch size than the largest females in the genus, A. sacki (mean clutch size 5.9 eggs, mean SVL 112 mm, Walker 1981;Hernández-Gallegos et al 2011). Furthermore, similar to the site of Tonatico (López-Moreno et al 2016), based on a linear model (assuming absence of phylogenetic effects), females from Ixtapan de la Sal with an average of 91.2 mm SVL are predicted to have a clutch size of only 4.8 eggs (Hernández-Gallegos 2004) rather than 6.5 eggs. However, the clutch size of A. costatus costatus at Ixtapan de la Sal is smaller than that of A. costatus costatus from Tonatico, Estado de México (1500-1600 m a.s.l; López-Moreno et al 2016).…”

Interestingly, the predicted clutch size for Estado de México aligns with clutch sizes reported for of A. costatus barrancarum, A. costatus huico, A. costatus nigrigularis, and A. costatus griseocephalus (see Walker et al 2003;Walker 2008aWalker , b, 2010.…”

“…This opens the possibility that some females of S. licki within this population may present a clutch at the beginning of the breeding season and the other clutch at the end of it or simply breed later in the season. It has been argued that the production of early and late clutches can be the result of reaching sexual maturity at different times of the year (López‐Moreno et al., 2016; Rubio‐Blanco, 2007).…”
