Follicle wall rupture and ovum release, ie, ovulation, has been described as a controlled
inflammatory event. The process involves tissue remodeling achieved through leukocyte …

Natural nests of egg-laying birds and reptiles exhibit substantial thermal variation, at a range
of spatial and temporal scales. Rates and trajectories of embryonic development are highly …

A warming world poses challenges for species with temperature-dependent sex
determination, including sea turtles, for which warmer incubation temperatures produce …

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

Nine leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) were tracked for 111–695 days via satellite
telemetry from one of the largest remaining western Pacific leatherback turtle nesting …

Hatching success in olive ridley mass nesting arribada beaches is typically low. We
conducted a short study to understand whether incubation temperature in dry months …

Increasing sand temperatures resulting from climate change may negatively impact sea
turtle nests by altering sex ratios and decreasing reproductive output. We analyzed the effect …

Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) have low hatching and emergence success
compared to other sea turtle species. Postmortem examinations of hatchlings showed …

Current understanding of the factors influencing hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys
imbricata) hatch success is disparate and based on relatively short-term studies or limited …

Temperate species of turtles hatch from eggs in late summer. The hatchlings of some
