Abstract
Embryos of the freshwater snail Physa sp. complete their development within an egg capsule and hatch as juveniles.

Oxygen consumption increased during development (r2=O.173, pOriginally presented in the John Wesley Powell Student Research Conference - April 14, 2007 and used with permission.
