Ecological and evolutionary significance of a lack of capacity for extended developmental arrest in crocodilian eggs
Hypoxia within the oviducts maintains embryonic arrest in turtles at the pre-ovipositional stage, which expands the timeframe over which nesting can occur without compromising embryo survival. The arrest can be extended post-oviposition through incubation of eggs in hypoxia. We determined whether cr...
