  		Fig. 1. Egg oxygen consumption rate (VO2) from six A. childreni clutches under multiple oxygen tensions during early (dotted line), middle (solid line) and late (broken line) stages of development. Crosses indicate PO2 sub-norm, and inverted triangles indicate critical oxygen tension for each stage of development.
