    … and how, iii) whether gender differences in developmental stability occur, and iv) the extent of phenotypic variation within each species. The findings of this study revealed SSD in both species of salamanders. The most parsimonious statistical model was developed that explained the influence …

    Quinn, Jr., Michael James2005

    … Measures of reproduction, behavior, growth, and developmental stability were also taken in this study. Male and female rates to sexual maturity were altered by the one-time in ovo exposure to DDE and trenbolone. Male reproductive behavior, as measured by attempts to mount and successful cloacal …
