The reproductive behavior of migratory organisms is difficult to characterize as the mating
behavior can be difficult to observe. For some species, one sex can be readily observable …

The goal of this study was to assess the consequences of single versus multiple paternity by
identifying paternity of clutches per female to identify whether there were detectable costs or …

Species that display temperature-dependent sex determination are at risk as a result of
increasing global temperatures. For marine turtles, high incubation temperatures can skew …

Behavioral studies in the green turtle (Chelonia mydas) have indicated that promiscuous
mating is commonplace. Though it has been shown that there is much variation in the rate of …

Abstract Characterization of a species mating systems is fundamental for understanding the
natural history and evolution of that species. Polyandry can result in the multiple paternity of …

For vertebrates with temperature-dependent sex determination, primary (or hatchling) sex
ratios are often skewed, an issue of particular relevance to concerns over effects of climate …

Despite being a fundamental life-history character, there is a paucity of population-wide,
data-driven studies of primary sex ratios for any marine turtle species. The Republic of Cape …

Characterizing the mating system of a species is important for understanding demography
and population dynamics and can contribute information to conservation efforts. Mating …

Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) from the Hawaiian archipelago form a small
and genetically isolated population, consisting of only a few tens of individuals breeding …

With nest incubation temperature determining sex in marine turtle hatchlings, sex ratios
among populations and intermediate aggregations are likely to exhibit more geographic and …
