A single block of the North Carolina II breeding design used to estimate parental effects across thermal environments. For each block, eggs from two individual dams were crossed with sperm from two individual sires. Each cross was replicated by six separate fertilizations. Fertilized eggs were then assigned to one of the three temperature treatments (17, 21 or 25°C) so that each sire–dam combination was replicated twice per treatment.
