Eggs under pressure: components of water potential of chameleon eggs during incubation…

[kinyonga]

“Water exchange of squamate eggs is driven by the difference between the water potentials of eggs and of their nest environment.”…
“the dynamics of water uptake by squamate eggs cannot be fully understood without consideration of the pressure that is exerted on the contents of eggs by their shells.”…
