Vulnerability of marine turtles to climate change
Marine turtles are generally viewed as vulnerable to climate change because of the role that
temperature plays in the sex determination of embryos, their long life history, long age-to …

Global sea turtle conservation successes
We document a tendency for published estimates of population size in sea turtles to be
increasing rather than decreasing across the globe. To examine the population status of the …

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 …
