Temperature-driven metabolic shifts in duck egg components during early embryogenesis: from diapause to active developmental phase

Embryonic diapause, a survival strategy observed in birds such as wild ducks (where entire clutches may suspend development), allows embryos to delay growth under suboptimal conditions. In commercial practices, this trait is harnessed to synchronise hatching with market schedules, maximising product...
