In the painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) and the red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta), the temperature that eggs are exposed to during incubation influences many traits of the developing embryo. We tested the effect of fluctuating- versus constant-temperature incubation regimes at the high and low ends of the viable developmental temperature range to assess the effect of incubation environment on offspring...
