Table 1. Q10 values of heart rate in different life-history stages in two species of turtles, Chrysemys picta and Graptemys pseudogeographica kohnii.
20–25°C | 25–30°C | 30–33.5°C | |
Chrysemys picta | |||
Embryo, Day 15 | 2.20 | 1.83 | 1.79 |
Embryo, Day 40 | 2.19 | 1.74 | 1.85 |
Hatchling, Day 1 | 1.87 | 1.40 | 1.42 |
Hatchling, Day 10 | 1.55 | 1.49 | 1.72 |
Graptemys pseudogeographica kohnii | |||
Embryo, Day 15 | 2.38 | 1.63 | 1.51 |
Embryo, Day 40 | 2.64 | 1.78 | 1.62 |
Hatchling, Day 1 | 1.78 | 1.58 | 1.35 |
Hatchling, Day 10 | 1.39 | 1.84 | 1.35 |
In most cases, Q10 values of heart rate in embryos were higher than those of hatchlings.
