Population abundance data are often used to define species' conservation status.
Abundance of marine turtles is typically estimated using nesting beach monitoring data such …

In recent years, information about the movements and timing of migration by male sea turtles
has begun to be unraveled. Here, we present the first satellite tracking of male loggerhead …

Offspring and breeding (operational) sex ratios (OSR) are a key component of demographic
studies. While offspring sex ratios are often relatively easy to measure, measuring OSR s is …

For species with temperature‐dependent sex determination, such as marine turtles, global
climate change poses numerous threats. At the nesting beach, rising temperatures are …

Sea turtles have temperature-dependent sex determination, with males being produced at
low incubation temperatures and females at high temperatures within the thermal range for …

Beach protection and monitoring has been used for about half a century to multiple
rookeries globally as an effective sea turtle conservation strategy with successful population …

Many aspects of sea turtle biology are difficult to measure in these enigmatic migratory
species, and this lack of knowledge continues to hamper conservation efforts. The first study …

The study of turtle population genetics has come a long way in the past few decades. In the
early 1990s, technologies such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and automated DNA …

The biology of the endangered leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) at sea is poorly
understood. As research has been almost exclusively limited to studies of nesting females …

Evidence is mounting that warming air and sea temperatures are affecting nesting patterns
in oviparous species by causing earlier nesting within seasons. The potential fitness …
