Effects of Eggshell Thickness, Calcium Content, and Number of Pores in Erosion Craters on Hatching Rate of Chinese Alligator Eggs

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Any abnormalities in the physical properties of an egg can decrease the hatching rate. The embryos of oviparous reptiles obtain Ca from the eggshell. This motivated us to analyze the microstructure and Ca in the eggshells of Chinese alligators. We found that the shells of the eggs wi...
