Develo** embryos of oviparous reptiles show substantial plasticity in their responses to
environmental conditions during incubation, which can include altered sex ratios …

As climate change continues, sea turtle nests will be increasingly exposed to elevated
incubation temperatures. Higher incubation temperatures influence many aspects of sea …

Sea turtle embryos at high-density nesting beaches experience relative high rates of early
stage embryo death. One hypothesis to explain this high mortality rate is that there is an …

Turtle embryos enter a state of arrested development in the oviduct, allowing the mother
greater flexibility in her reproductive schedule. Development recommences once eggs …

Egg inviability at oviposition is a possible explanation for the high rate of early-stage embryo
death of eggs laid by green turtles at Raine Island, the largest green turtle nesting …

Incubation conditions are critical in determining numerous traits in reptilian neonates. This is
particularly significant in species with low offspring survival such as sea turtle species …

Relocation of turtle eggs for research or conservation purposes is associated with significant
risk, because they are prone to movement-induced mortality resulting from damage to …

Leatherback egg clutches typically experience lower hatching success (~ 50%) than those of
other sea turtle species (> 70%). The majority of embryonic death (> 50%) occurs at early …

There is increasing concern about feminization of sea turtle populations resulting from
female-biased production of hatchlings due to climate change and selective loss of males …

To maximise reproductive fitness, species make trade-offs among reproductive traits, eg,
offspring quantity vs. offspring size, within energetic, anatomical, and physiological …
