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 …

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 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 …

We compared incubation temperatures in nests () of the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) on
Ascension Island in relation to sand temperatures of control sites at nest depth. Intrabeach …

Climatic conditions during embryonic development can exert profound and long‐term effects
on many types of organisms, but most previous research on this topic has focussed on …

Early life environments shape phenotypic development in important ways that can lead to
long‐lasting effects on phenotype and fitness. In reptiles, one aspect of the early …

Interest in relationships between behaviour and development has been spurred by research
on related topics, including phenotypic plasticity, parental effects, extragenetic inheritance …

To understand the process of natural selection, relationships between phenotype and fitness
and sources of phenotypic variation must be known. We examined the importance of …

Thermal conditions in the developmental environment can substantially affect an individual's
phenotype, particularly in egg-laying ectotherms. However, whether these effects persist into …
