Increasing hypoxia progressively slows early embryonic development in an oviparous reptile, the green turtle, Chelonia mydas [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) embryos are in an arrested state of development when the eggs are laid, but in the presence of oxygen, arrest is broken and development resumes within 12–16 h.
