Incubation temperature influences hatchling phenotypes such as sex, size, shape, color,
behavior, and locomotor performance in many reptiles, and there is growing concern that …

Reptiles are critically affected by temperature throughout their lifespan, but especially so
during early development. Temperature-induced changes in phenotype are a specific …

Nest site selection in reptiles can affect the fitness of the parents through the survival of their
offspring because environmental factors influence embryo survivorship, hatchling quality …

The nesting habitat of most freshwater turtle species has been described, but factors
influencing maternal nest site selection have rarely been tested experimentally. Offspring …

This book presents a comparative view of chelonian reproduction and discusses
ecophysiological implications for their captive breeding. Chelonians, with their protective …

This book is comprised of 12 chapters covering topics in reptilian incubation. The chapters
are written by several authors. This book is aimed at serving as a valuable reference text for …

SYNOPSIS. Egg size and nest site selection are two potential effects that can have a
persistent influence on the phenotype of offspring. In this paper, I develop the maternal …

We examined a critical component of the Charnov-Bull hypothesis of temperature-
dependent sex determination (TSD) by determining the reaction norms of hatchling growth …

The Indian River lagoon system harbors a dynamic population of juvenile green sea turtles
(Chelonia mydas). This foraging or developmental population occupies the lagoon year …

Eggs from the Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, nesting population of green turtles
(Chelonia mydas) were incubated at all-male-determining (26˚ C) and all-female …
