We conducted a 5-year field (2017–2021) and laboratory study of the relationship between
type of substrate and hatching success, embryonic development, and the quality of …

The reproductive success of sea turtles is highly influenced by the environmental and
biological conditions of the nesting beach. Maio Island, Cabo Verde, one of the main nesting …

Incubation temperature plays a vital role in sea turtle life history because it influences
embryonic growth, sex determination and hatchling attributes such as body size, residual …

Sea turtle nest success, defined as the number of eggs in a nest that successfully hatch and
emerge, is closely linked to environmental conditions. Interacting biotic and abiotic factors …

Global atmospheric temperatures are predicted to rapidly increase within the next hundred
years, consequently altering the microclimates of the sand dune environment where marine …

A suitable gaseous, hydrous and thermal nest environment is essential for the development
of sea turtle embryos. The harvest of partial clutches by indigenous people and changes in …

Sea turtle incubation biology is tightly linked to nest thermal conditions due to the effect
temperature has on hatching success, sex determination, morphology and locomotion …

Recently I used a meta-analysis to show that globally, both loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and
green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests laid on natural beaches have higher hatching success …

Nest-site selection and the depth at which turtle females deposit their eggs have a decisive
influence on temperature in the nest chamber. Thus, female turtle nesting behaviour can …

Hawksbill turtles are considered Critically Endangered. An understanding of how nest
microenvironment (moisture and temperature) and maternal characteristics can influence …
