Nesting Ecology of West African Dwarf Crocodiles in a Heavily Disturbed Landscape in Chirehin, Ghana

Table 1

West African dwarf crocodile incubation temperature (°C); SD and N represent standard deviations and the total number of recordings used for the calculations, respectively. Differences in N are a result of the difference in the number of days incubation temperature was monitored before hatching occurred and loggers were stopped after hatching occurred.
