Extreme weather events (eg, cyclones, floods, droughts) are capable of changing
ecosystems and altering how animals obtain resources. Understanding the behavioural …

Background Marine turtles deposit their eggs on tropical or subtropical beaches during
discrete nesting seasons that span several months. The number and distribution of nests …

Sandy beach habitat where sea turtles nest will be affected by multiple climate change
impacts. Before these impacts occur, knowledge of how nest site selection and hatching …

Anthropogenic climate change adds to the existing suite of threats to species, such as
habitat degradation, by increasing extinction risk and compromising the ability of species to …

The loggerhead sea turtle is an endangered species exposed to many anthropogenic
hazards in the Pacific. It is widely held that pelagic longline fisheries pose the major risk for …

Species that have temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD) often produce highly
skewed offspring sex ratios contrary to long‐standing theoretical predictions. This ecological …

We document a tendency for published estimates of population size in sea turtles to be
increasing rather than decreasing across the globe. To examine the population status of the …

Chelonians are expected to be negatively impacted by climate change due to limited vagility
and temperature‐dependent sex determination. However, few studies have examined how …

Coastal areas are used by both marine turtles and humans which may result in marine turtle
nesting grounds being exposed to human activities like coastal modifications. Several …

Somatic growth is an integrated, individual‐based response to environmental conditions,
especially in ectotherms. Growth dynamics of large, mobile animals are particularly useful as …
