The aim of this study was to determine the reproductive response of L. gibbosus to increased temperature. Here, results are reported from an experiment in artificial ponds in the U.K., involving PIT-tagged individuals to assess variables related to
reproductive output more precisely. Specific objectives were to compare the: (1) timing and duration of the reproductive period, (2) frequency of female visits to nests defended by males and (3) amount of time females spend at nests between
L. gibbosus living in ambient and elevated temperature regimes.
