The hatching success of leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761), is
influenced by heterogeneously distributed ecological factors. However, the hatching …

Nest-site selection and causes of non-viability in eggs of leatherbacks Dermochelys
coriacea and green turtles Chelonia mydas were investigated for two consecutive seasons …

Nest-site selection and the depth at which turtle females deposit their eggs have a decisive
influence on temperature in the nest chamber. Thus, female turtle nesting behaviour can …

Physical and biological conditions of nests in which sea turtle embryos develop can vary
among and within nesting beaches. Monitoring these conditions and their effects on …

Leatherback turtles have an average global hatching success rate of∼ 50%, lower than

Nest site selection influences the hatching success of sea turtles and represents a crucial
aspect of their reproductive process. Arembepe Beach, in the State of Bahia, northeastern …

Reproductive output of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) is affected by the
