Prehatch Calls and Coordinated Birth in Turtles. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe study investigates the phylogenetic distribution of within‐egg vocal behaviour among turtles and its role in synchronous hatching. Clutches from six turtle species with diverse ecological and reproductive niches were recorded, aiming to understand if asynchronous species vocalise from within the egg, the influence of clutch size on synchronous ...

Shell Constraints on Evolutionary Body Size-Limb Size Allometry Can Explain Morphological Conservatism in the Turtle Body Plan. [PDF]
Ecol EvolTurtle body size and limb size scale nearly isometrically along the group's evolution, although major deviations are only seen in highly specialized ecological or morphological groups. The evolution of the shell constrained turtle body proportions, as they show lower rates of variance accumulation in these allometries than other more diverse and ...
