Add to ORKGAmniotes (mammals, reptiles including birds) exhibit wide diversity in egg/offspring size relatively to female body size. This study reviews mechanisms determining size of propagules (such as morphological or physiological constraints, trade-off between size versus number etc.). Particular attention is paid to comparison of allometric relationship in egg/offspring size among individual amniotic lineages
