Abstract Reproductive success is often related to parental quality, a parameter expressed through various traits, such as site selection, mate selection and energetic investment in the eggs or progeny. Owing to the complex interactions between environmental and parental characteristics occurring at various stages of the reproductive event, it is often complicated to tease apart the relative contributions of these different factors to reproductive success. Study systems where these complex interactions are simplified (e.g. absence of parental care) can help us to understand how metrics of parental quality (e.g. gamete and egg quality) influence reproductive success. Using such a study system in a common garden experiment, we investigated the relationships between clutch hatching success (a proxy of clutch quality) and offspring quality in an amphibian species lacking post-oviposition parental care. We found a relationship between clutch quality and embryonic development duration and hatchling phenotype. We found that hatchling telomere length was linked to hatching success. These results suggest that clutch quality is linked to early life traits in larval amphibians and that deciphering the influence of parental traits on the patterns we detected is a promising avenue of research.

The Pacific

Eggs of the Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus Tilesius) were held from fertilization to completion of hatching in various combinations of constant salinity (19–31‰) and temperature (2–10 C). Hatching occurred in all salinities and temperatures, and survival was highest at the lower levels of both factors. A direct and approximately linear relationship was found between rate of development and temperature within the temperature range employed. At each temperature the length of the incubation period was increased at lower salinities. It is suspected that eggs were subjected to hypoxial conditions in the experiments, a circumstance considered to have depressed survival rate over all experimental combinations. There was, in general, an inverse relationship between salinity and temperature with respect to both size of larvae produced and the duration of the hatching period. Calculated response isopleths suggest that eggs of Gadus macrocephalus are euryhaline, and that maximum hatching success may be found in the vicinity of 19‰ S and 5 C. Changes of 1 C were calculated to be equivalent in effect on hatching success to a change of about 12‰ S.
