Study Notes
- Rates of development are genetically determined and can be considered as species-specific characteristics.
- Temperature can influence rates of development, including size at hatching, efficiency of yolk utilization, time to metamorphosis, behavior, and rates of feeding and metabolic demands.
- In addition to influencing rates of development of eggs, embryos and larvae, temperature may also affect the interactions between growth and differentiation.
- The best-known effect of temperature on rates of development is that on meristic characters.
