Successive clutches induced by surgical excision of post-ovulatory oocytes in the lizard Cnemidophorus uniparens

Abstract
19 animals had eggs excised from the oviducts soon after ovulation. Number of clutches was nearly tripled in excised animals as compared to controls. An influence of eggs in the oviduct on number of clutches is suggested and may indicate a neuronal link between oviduct and hypothalamus.
