Influence of temperature variation on incubation period, hatching success, sex ratio, and phenotypes in Caiman latirostris

Temperature is crucial for reptiles, also during embryonic development, particularly for species with temperature‐dependent sex determination. Under natural conditions, Broad‐snouted caiman ( Caiman latirostris ) eggs are influenced by thermal changes in the interior of the nest related to the external environmental temperature. As nests are subject to variations in temperature and most lab studies on crocodilian incubation have been carried out...
