Description

Database of TSD information for reptiles
The columns are:

• Species: Name of the species in binominal nommenclature

• Subspecies: Name of the subspecies

• Country: From which country the eggs come from

• Area: Name of the beach or region the eggs come from

• RMU: For marine turtles, name of the RMU for this population; see Wallace, B.P., DiMatteo, A.D., Hurley, B.J., Finkbeiner, E.M., Bolten, A.B., Chaloupka, M.Y., Hutchinson, B.J., Abreu-Grobois, F.A., Amorocho, D., Bjorndal, K.A., Bourjea, J., Bowen, B.W., Duenas, R.B., Casale, P., Choudhury, B.C., Costa, A., Dutton, P.H., Fallabrino, A., Girard, A., Girondot, M., Godfrey, M.H., Hamann, M., Lopez-Mendilaharsu, M., Marcovaldi, M.A., Mortimer, J.A., Musick, J.A., Nel, R., Seminoff, J.A., Troeng, S., Witherington, B., Mast, R.B., 2010.

• Incubation.temperature: Nominal incubation temperature

• Incubation.temperature.Constant: Does the incubation temperature was set as constant or CTE was reported

• Incubation.temperature.Accuracy: What is the accuracy of the measure of temperature

• Incubation.temperature.SD: Experimental SD of incubation temperatures

• Incubation.temperature.Amplitude: How much the temperature could fluctuate around nominal temperature

• Correction.factor: Difference between the incubator temperature and the eggs temperature

• IP.min: Shorter incubation period

• IP.max: Longer incubation period

• IP.mean: Mean incubation periods

• IP.SD: Standard deviation for incubation periods

• Total: Total number of eggs incubated

• Hatched: Number of hatchlings

• NotHatched: Number of embryos with development visible but dead during incubation

• Undeveloped: Number of embryos showing no development

• Intersexes: Number of individuals intersexes or ambiguous for sex phenotype

• Males: Number of individuals indentified as males

• Females: Number of individuals indentified as females

• Sexed: Number of sexed individuals

• Clutch: Identity or number of clutches
