The rate of climate change experienced globally in recent decades may compromise sea
turtles' survival; especially temperature increase, which is particularly fast, impacts life …

In species with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), incubation temperatures
regulate the expression of genes involved in gonadal differentiation and determine whether …

There is need for advancing minimally invasive diagnostic techniques for sex differentiation
at early life-stage classes in sea turtles. The objectives of this study were to determine …

Sea turtle nesting beaches are experiencing increased sand temperatures as climate
change progresses. In one major green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nesting beach in the …

Environmental contaminants with chemical origins, such as organochlorine pesticides
(OCPs) have major impacts on the health of marine animals, including sea turtles, due to the …

Survival in the early life stages is a major factor determining the growth and stability of
wildlife populations. For sea turtles, nest location must provide favorable conditions to …

To date, studies of the impacts of climate warming on individuals and populations have
mostly focused on mortality and thermal tolerance. In contrast, much less is known about the …

Sea turtles are a taxon of conservation concern and are highly migratory, exposing them to a
variety of threats (eg, fisheries bycatch, direct harvest) across their lifetime. Understanding …

Sea turtles can bioaccumulate high concentrations of potentially toxic contaminants. To
better understand trace element effects on sea turtles' health, we established reference …

Assessments of health variables in wild animal populations have evolved into important
tools for characterizing spatiotemporal population trends and fitness, effects of stressors …
