Abstract excerpt
Temperature during embryogenesis determines sex and has been shown to influence other physiological traits in reptiles. The common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) is an ideal model for testing how temperature impacts behavior in species that display temperature-dependent sex determination. Behavioral assays are crucial to understanding how a changing climate may affect whole organism function in the...
