“…K. scorpioides features diapause and embryonic aestivation (Ewert, 1985, 1991), which directly affects incubation time (Ewert, 1985; Ewert & Wilson, 1996; Rafferty & Reina, 2012). Here it is shown that the incubation period occurs at 129.50 ± 21.73 days (Braga, 2019), similar to several studies carried out in northern Brazil (Costa et al, 2017; Guimarães, Silva, & Palha, 2017). The long Stage 26 (prehatch), observed during 60 days of incubation, demonstrates the presence of embryonic aestivation (Braga, 2019).…”
