Fig. 2: Effects of behavioral thermoregulation on incubation period and hatching success of eggs.

From: Behavioral thermoregulation by reptile embryos promotes hatching success and synchronization

Fig. 2

a Eggs from the thermoregulation group had shorter incubation periods than those from the thermoregulation-inhibited group. b Incubation periods had a smaller coefficient of variation in the thermoregulation group than in the thermoregulation-inhibited group. c Incubation periods had a narrower range of variation in the thermoregulation group than in the thermoregulation-inhibited group. d Eggs from the thermoregulation group had higher hatching success than those from the thermoregulation-inhibited group. Data were analyzed by generalized linear mixed models with the clutch number as the random factor. Data are presented with means ± SE. ***p < 0.001.
