Incubation temperature has significant developmental effects on oviparous animals,
including affecting sexual differentiation for several species. Incubation temperature also …

In numerous laboratory experiments involving the incubation of reptile eggs, both the
maternal origin of eggs and the incubating environment (nest effect) have been …

Despite the taxonomic, behavioral, and lifestyle diversity among reptile species, behavioral
consistency in reptiles has not been examined to the extent that it has been in fish, birds …

Global sea turtle populations are threatened by rising atmospheric temperatures which
result in higher incubation temperatures. Increased incubation temperatures affect embryo …

Variable environmental conditions can alter the phenotype of offspring, particularly in
ectothermic species such as reptiles. Despite this, the majority of studies on development in …

The incubation of eggs is strongly influenced by temperature as observed in all species
studied to date. For example, incubation duration, sexual phenotype, growth, and …

Context A main goal of conservation is to mitigate anthropogenic impacts on natural
ecosystems, thus conservation tools themselves should not negatively affect target species …

In aquaculture, the traditional method for hatching Pelodiscus sinensis eggs needs further
investigation. Here, we developed a medium-free incubation method for hatching P. sinensis …

Comparisons between aquatic and terrestrial species provide an opportunity to examine
how sex-specific adaptations interact with the environment to influence body shape. In …

Sea turtles are vertebrates with temperature-dependent sex determination. Rising
temperatures due to climate change cause female-biased sex ratios. We have assessed the …
