The Impact of Chronic Hypoxic Incubation On Cardiovascular Physiology of Embryonic Common Snapping Turtles (Chelydra serpentina)
Meeting Abstract P3.11 Saturday, Jan. 5 The Impact of Chronic Hypoxic Incubation On Cardiovascular Physiology of Embryonic Common Snapping Turtles (Chelydra serpentina). CROSSLEY, Dane A; University of North Dakota dane.crossley@und.nodak.edu In response to chronic hypoxic incubation reptilian embryos are known to alter incubation length, embryonic mass, hematological parameters and metabolic rate. In addition embryonic American alligators incubated […]
