Analysis of thermal impact on the embryogenesis of Nile crocodile, Crocodylus niloticus eggs
收藏资源简介:
This dataset was collected from daily thermal records from start till end of the study, for a thesis contribution. A set number of Nile crocodile eggs were incubated using a homemade incubator, and the date the eggs were incubated and hatched were recorded to determine the incubation period. Moreover, the eggs from various clutches were randomly grouped separately in the incubators of various temperatures. One should note that the "incno" and "incgroup" refer to the incubation number and group, respectively. Also, the other codes to note are as follows: SVL for Snout to Vent Length, VTL for Vent to Tail Length, STL for Snout to Tail Length, and BPD for the Biparietal Diameter. Lastly, the hatchling sizes were also recorded in response to their thermal exposure.
本数据集采集自本研究全程的每日温度记录,用于学位论文相关研究。本研究使用自制孵化器对固定数量的尼罗鳄鳄卵进行孵化,并记录鳄卵的孵化起始日期与破壳日期,以计算孵化期时长。此外,来自不同产卵批次的鳄卵被随机分组,分别置于不同温度的孵化器中孵化。需注意,字段“incno”与“incgroup”分别代表孵化编号与孵化组别。此外,其余需关注的编码如下:SVL(Snout to Vent Length,吻肛长)、VTL(Vent to Tail Length,肛尾长)、STL(Snout to Tail Length,吻尾长)以及BPD(Biparietal Diameter,双顶径)。最后,本研究同时记录了刚孵化幼鳄的体型数据,以对应其所处的温度暴露环境。
