Eggs, hatching and embryos variability in loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta show significant differences among nests coming from two Italian nesting grounds

What is it about?

This ms of ours describes for the first time the biometric variability and asymmetry of embryos collected in unhatched eggs, from about one hundred nests. Apart from important data set on embryonic stages derived from eggs opened at different moments of egg development, it appears that nothing has been published on this topic to date. Our results, albeit preliminary, give interesting information that could be used in association to environmental variable of future studies
