Developmental ecology in embryos of an estuarine pupfish endemic of the Yucatan peninsula: Survival out of water, metabolic depression, and asynchronous hatching
Our results reveal that G. pulchra possesses life-history traits typical of two separate phenomena: delay hatching and diapause; supporting a true continuum between them, rather than a dichotomy. The evolution of these traits may respond to aerial exposure during low tides in the estuaries of Yucatán they inhabit.
