Sexual segregation in marine fish, reptiles, birds and mammals: behaviour patterns, mechanisms and conservation implications
VJ Wearmouth, DW Sims - Advances in marine biology, 2008 - Elsevier
Sexual segregation occurs when members of a species separate such that the sexes live
apart, either singly or in single‐sex groups. It can be broadly categorised into two types …

Detecting elusive aspects of wildlife ecology using drones: New insights on the mating dynamics and operational sex ratios of sea turtles
Offspring and breeding (operational) sex ratios (OSR) are a key component of demographic
studies. While offspring sex ratios are often relatively easy to measure, measuring OSR s is …

Biodiversity Research: fidelity to foraging sites, consistency of migration routes and habitat modulation of home range by sea turtles
Aim Resources can shape patterns of habitat utilization. Recently a broad foraging
dichotomy between oceanic and coastal sites has been revealed for loggerhead sea turtles …

Breeding periodicity for male sea turtles, operational sex ratios, and implications in the face of climate change
Species that have temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD) often produce highly
skewed offspring sex ratios contrary to long‐standing theoretical predictions. This ecological …
