Nesting hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata were studied on Cousine Island,
Seychelles from 1995 to 1999. Mean overall incubation time averaged 58.1 days. Clutch …

The possibility of nest site fidelity of leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, raises
concerns about the merit of translocating poorly located clutches to a safe hatchery …

We examined the mechanism responsible for low reproductive success in leatherback
turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) at Playa Grande, Costa Rica: low egg fertilization versus high …

There is increasing concern about feminization of sea turtle populations resulting from
female-biased production of hatchlings due to climate change and selective loss of males …

Simple Summary Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) populations are
experiencing significant declines and are at risk of global extinction. Sustaining reproductive …

In marine turtles, the physical conditions experienced by eggs during incubation affect
embryonic development. In the leatherback, hatching success is known to be low in relation …

Sea turtles bury their eggs in nests at depths ranging from 25 to 100 cm. After hatching,
turtles crawl up to the surface and emerge over several days. Some hatchlings fail to emerge …

Eggs of the loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, often fail to hatch. Infertility and embryonic
mortality were investigated as sources of egg failure, showing that standard methods of …

For species without parental care, such as sea turtles, nest site selection is particularly
important for embryo development, hatchling survival and, ultimately, reproductive success …
