Article Synopsis
- - Eggshell evaluation can indicate environmental impacts, affecting the shape, structure, and hatching rates of eggs, particularly in contaminated settings.
- - This study investigated the effects of the insecticide methyl parathion on the eggshells of Podocnemis expansa and their hatchability during artificial incubation.
- - Results showed that exposure to methyl parathion decreased total fat levels in eggshells and significantly reduced hatch rates of the incubated eggs.
