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 …

[PDF][PDF] Evidence of adult male scarcity associated with female-skewed offspring sex ratios in sea turtles
Climate change is a clear and present threat to species survival. For species with
temperature-dependent sex determination, including all sea turtles, it has been …

Prevalence of polygyny in a critically endangered marine turtle population
Genetic analyses of nuclear DNA (eg, microsatellites) are a primary tool for investigating
mating systems in reptiles, particularly marine turtles. Whereas studies over the past two …

Turtle mating patterns buffer against disruptive effects of climate change
For organisms with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), skewed offspring sex
ratios are common. However, climate warming poses the unique threat of producing extreme …

High frequency of multiple paternity in a solitary population of olive ridley sea turtles in Honduras
N Duran, SG Dunbar, RA Escobar Iii… - Journal of Experimental …, 2015 - Elsevier
Females of all seven living species of sea turtles are known to be polyandrous and show
multiple paternity. The frequency of multiple paternity varies among species, and among …

Paternity re-visited in a recovering population of Caribbean leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea)
C Figgener, D Chacón-Chaverri, MP Jensen… - Journal of Experimental …, 2016 - Elsevier
Sea turtles in general are promiscuous breeders, but previous leatherback paternity studies
found only a very low level of multiple paternity or none at all. Three highly polymorphic …

A review of how the biology of male sea turtles may help mitigate female-biased hatchling sex ratio skews in a warming climate
In a warming climate, male sea turtles may become increasingly rare due to temperature-
dependent sex determination with females being produced at warmer temperatures. Hence …

Philopatry in loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta: beyond the gender paradigm
Marine turtles have been traditionally considered model organisms to study sex-biased
behaviour and dispersal. Although female philopatry has been identified in the loggerhead …

One beach amongst many: how weak fidelity to a focal nesting site can bias demographic rates in marine turtles
JB Pfaller, SM Weaver, KL Williams, MG Dodd… - Marine Biology, 2022 - Springer
In migratory marine species, demographic estimates are often generated from capture-mark-
recapture (CMR) studies conducted at terrestrial breeding sites. However, when logistical …

Conservation hotspots: implications of intense spatial area use by breeding male and female loggerheads at the Mediterranean's largest rookery
The implementation of appropriate protection measures for endangered species in protected
areas requires knowledge of their fine-scale habitat use. In May and June of 2006 and 2007 …
