Hatching and emergence success were examined in 43 natural nests of the Mediterranean
loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) in the Göksu delta, Turkey. Overall clutch size averaged …

The nest environment, in particular sand temperature, is critical to the breeding ecology of
sea turtles which lack parental care during their early stages of life. We investigated the …

Wood turtles (Glyptemys insculpta) have been suffering range-wide population declines
