Abstract
The brush turkey (Alectura lathami) and mallee fowl (Leipoa ocellata) are megapode birds that incubate their eggs by burying them in mounds. Respiratory gas exchange between the buried eggs and the atmosphere occurs mainly by diffusion through about 60 cm of decomposing forest litter (brush turkey) or sand (mallee fowl).
