As climate change continues, sea turtle nests will be increasingly exposed to elevated
incubation temperatures. Higher incubation temperatures influence many aspects of sea …

Incubation temperatures, in addition to an embryo's genetic makeup, are critical in many
aspects of adequate sea turtle embryonic development. The effects of high and low …

Warming global temperatures are predicted to reduce population viability in many oviparous
ectothermic taxa, with increased embryonic mortality likely to be a main cause. While …

Thermal tolerances are affected by the range of temperatures that species encounter in their
habitat. Daniel Janzen hypothesized in his “Why mountain passes are higher in the tropics” …

Hatchling sea turtles usually emerge under the cover of darkness but the time interval
between pipping and emergence remains a mystery to students of sea turtle research …

Oviparous species are threatened in a warming world if their nesting distribution does not
change or if they cannot adapt to changing environmental conditions. Consequently …

Marine turtles are vulnerable to climate change because their life history and reproduction
are tied to environmental temperatures. The egg incubation stage is arguably the most …

Climate change is threatening reproduction of many ectotherms by increasing nest
temperatures, potentially making it more difficult for females to locate nest sites that provide …

Developing sea turtle embryos only successfully hatch within a relatively narrow
temperature range, rendering this immobile life stage vulnerable to the vagaries of climate …

Incubation temperature has significant developmental effects on oviparous animals,
including affecting sexual differentiation for several species. Incubation temperature also …
