Overview

Global analysis reveals vulnerability differences in embryos and adults of reptiles, indicating crucial conservation needs.

Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze the impacts of climate change on embryonic development and adults of reptiles.
  • Global-scale analysis of developmental traits in 48 oviparous reptiles
  • Comparison of climate change effects on embryos versus adults
  • Focus on activity restriction and loss of egg development opportunity in 5 lizard species
  • Tropical oviparous reptile embryos are predicted to be most vulnerable to climate change
  • 13 threatened species, mainly turtles, face exacerbated challenges from climate change impacts
  • Geographic alignment of vulnerability between embryos and adults concentrated in the tropics
