Early environments can profoundly influence an organism in ways that persist over its life. In
reptiles, early thermal environments (nest temperatures) can impact offspring phenotype and …

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

Seasonal cooling can modify the thermal preferenda of ectothermic vertebrates and elicit a
variety of physiological responses ranging from winter dormancy to an acclimation response …

We incubated eggs of the soft-shell turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) at constant (ranging from 23°
C to 34° C) and fluctuating temperatures (varying from 22.3° C to 32.8° C) to assess …

This book is comprised of 12 chapters covering topics in reptilian incubation. The chapters
