Comparison of the experimental light treatment in this study with natural and artificial light environments relevant to field and museum researchers/curators.

Watts per square meter are given as a typical measure of irradiance. Photons per square centimeter per second are also given because, for a given region of the spectrum, these might bear a linear relationship with change in egg color over time. These two metrics of irradiance contribute different percentages of their respective totals because the power (W/m2) of a photon varies according to wavelength.
