Abstract Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability cope projected increases in ambient will depend on capacity adapt shifts climatic regimes. Here, we assessed the extent which phenological could mitigate impacts from (from 1.5 3°C air 1.4 2.3°C sea surface 2100 at our sites) four species turtles, under a...
ABSTRACT It has been proposed that because marine turtles have environmentally determined sex by incubation temperature, elevated temperatures might skew ratios to unsustainable levels, leading extinction. Elevated may also reduce availability of suitable nesting sites via sea level rise. Increased tropical storm activity can directly affect nest site moisture, embryonic development, and the probability nests will survive. Here, we question some these assumptions review limits ratio...

Many environmental variables that affect incubating turtle eggs in the nest may also hatchling development, following emergence. However, these effects be subtle and are largely unexamined. In this study, we analyzed effect of sand moisture content during incubation on postemergence growth rates loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) southeastern Florida. We divided 10 clutches halves, reburied them, exposed them to 1 2 treatments. At emergence, 7 met minimum criteria for inclusion study....
