The influence of temperature on the development rates of aquatic ectotherms KU Leuven
Living organisms are continuously affected by their environment. Embryo-environment interactions are particularly important as any disturbance during this period can echo into later stages of development. Embryos often passively depend on their environment and even a subtle environmental insult during a key developmental window can have a major impact on embryo viability, and embryonic and post-embryonic performance. Especially ectotherms are ...
