Incubation temperatures, in addition to an embryo's genetic makeup, play crucial roles in
development and alter a variety of characteristics in sea turtle embryos. Atmospheric …

Incubation temperatures, in addition to an embryo's genetic makeup, are critical in many
aspects of adequate sea turtle embryonic development. The effects of high and low …

Climate change has the potential to expose sea turtle nests to higher temperatures, which
may negatively impact sea turtle hatchling vigor. In this study, loggerhead and green …

As climate change continues, sea turtle nests will be increasingly exposed to elevated
incubation temperatures. Higher incubation temperatures influence many aspects of sea …

Incubation temperature has significant developmental effects on oviparous animals,
including affecting sexual differentiation for several species. Incubation temperature also …

Warming global temperatures are predicted to reduce population viability in many oviparous
ectothermic taxa, with increased embryonic mortality likely to be a main cause. While …

Marine turtles are vulnerable to climate change because their life history and reproduction
are tied to environmental temperatures. The egg incubation stage is arguably the most …

Thermal conditions in the nest affect the development of sea turtle clutches, with high
temperatures potentially reducing reproductive success and the quality of hatchlings. In a …

Developing sea turtle embryos only successfully hatch within a relatively narrow
temperature range, rendering this immobile life stage vulnerable to the vagaries of climate …

Since the 1980s it has been known that incubation temperature influences the sex ratio of
sea turtle hatchlings emerging from their nests, and there has been much speculation on …
