TLDR
The most noticeable advantage of incubating eggs at the fluctuating temperature regime designed in this study is to widen the range of incubation temperatures yielding larger and well-performed hatchlings.About:

Climate change and marine turtles
TL;DR: This article reviewed the data from peer-reviewed publications to assess the likely impacts of climate change on marine turtles and highlight the types of data that would be most useful for an accurate assessment of future effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Incubation Temperature on Hatchling Phenotype in Reptiles
TL;DR: A recent theoretical model used to predict hatchling sex of reptiles with temperature‐dependent sex determination predicts that sex ratios will be fairly robust to moderate global warming as long as eggs experience substantial daily cyclic fluctuations in incubation temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental temperatures and phenotypic plasticity in reptiles: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The highly heterogeneous nature of the effects the authors observe, along with a large amount of unexplained variability, indicates that the shape of reaction norms between phenotype and temperature,Along with ecological and/or experimental factors, are important when considering general patterns
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal tolerances of sea turtle embryos: current understanding and future directions
TL;DR: Overall, the authors are only beginning to understand how exposure to high temperatures experienced in the field influences embryonic development and hatchling production, and this knowledge gap is hampering the ability to predict the impacts of climate change on sea turtle populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swimming performance of hatchling green turtles is affected by incubation temperature
TL;DR: This finding that hatchling males incubated at lower temperature had reduced swimming ability may affect their survival whilst running the gauntlet of predators in shallow near-shore waters, prior to reaching the relative safety of the open sea.

Pseudoreplication and the Design of Ecological Field Experiments
TL;DR: Suggestions are offered to statisticians and editors of ecological journals as to how ecologists' under- standing of experimental design and statistics might be improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Determination in Reptiles
TL;DR: Temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) is common in turtles and has been reported in two lizards and alligators; however, data on TSD are available for few non-turtle species and an attempt is made to deduce their ancestries.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physiological ecology of reptilian eggs and embryos. and the evolution of viviparity within the class reptilia
TL;DR: Eggs of Crocodilia and Chelonia have a pair of egg membranes separating a thick layer of albumen from the calcareous shell, while eggs of oviparous Lepidosauria have only a single shell membrane, upon which relatively small amounts of calcium carbonate are deposited.
