The Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis is the most common turtle species sold in China. In most turtle farms P. sinensis eggs are incubated at fluctuating temperatures. To examine if fluctuations in incubation temperature affect hatching success, incubation length and hatchling quality, we incubated P. sinensis eggs in five incubators: one set at 30°C, two ramp-programmed at 30±3°C and±5°C;...
