孵化温度显著影响乌龟胚胎的能量利用。
Incubation temperature significantly affected embryonic use of energy.
举例来说，处于胚胎时期的猪鼻龟会由其龟卵所埋之地的温度来决定其性别，而且已经发育完全的胚胎还能推迟它们的孵化时间。
For example, embryonic pig-nosed turtles become male or female depending on the temperature of the ground their eggs are laid in, while fully developed embryos can delay their hatching.
由于温度会影响孵化海龟的性别，科学家们担心雄性海龟的数量会因此而下降，从而威胁到整个海龟种群的生存。
Since temperature affects the gender of turtle hatchlings, scientists fear a decline in male turtles, which could threaten the survival of the species.
