Oxygen-dependent heat tolerance and developmental plasticity in turtle embryos.

Abstract excerpt

Oxygen and temperature have previously been treated as different environmental stresses and studied separately in most cases. Although the oxygen-temperature interaction may provide new insight into proximate and evolutionary constraints on embryonic development and offspring fitness, it has rarely been studied in oviparous amniotes. We used a two-factor experiment [three oxygen concentrations (12, 22 and 30%) ×...
