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.
