Rate of egg maturation in marine turtles exhibits 'universal temperature dependence'.

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Sept 2011

Weber Sam B, Blount Jonathan D, Godley Brendan J, Witt Matthew J, Broderick Annette C

Abstract excerpt

1. The metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) predicts that, after correcting for body mass variation among organisms, the rates of most biological processes will vary as a universal function of temperature. However, empirical support for 'universal temperature dependence' (UTD) is currently equivocal and based on studies of a limited number of traits. 2. In many ectothermic animals, the rate at which females produce...
