Data on the effect of incubation temperature of the eggs on sexual differentiation in turtles
are briefly reviewed. A change of 1–2° C can make a considerable difference to the sex ratio …

Even though sea turtles have a spectacular adaptation to life in water, they are highly
dependent on the well-being of beaches. Though many reptiles have returned to partial or …

Sexual differentiation of sea turtle hatchlings is determined by egg incubation temperature,
usually during the middle third of development (Yntema 1979, Yntema and Mrosovsky 1980 …

Sex of offspring in most turtles is determined by temperature-dependent sex determination
(TSD). In sea turtles, higher incubation temperatures produce female hatchlings and primary …

All sea turtles exhibit temperature‐dependent sex‐determination, where warmer
temperatures produce mostly females and cooler temperatures produce mostly males. As …

Marine turtles are globally endangered and subject to numerous conservation and
