Longer Incubation Periods are Energetically Costly for Turtle Embryos

David T. Booth · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2014

Aims: To test the hypothesis that similar sized turtle eggs with longer incubation periods have a greater energetic cost of producing a hatchling compared with eggs that have a shorter incubation period. Study Design: Eggs of the Eastern snake-neck turtle (Chelodina longicollis)...
