Egg inviability at oviposition is a possible explanation for the high rate of early-stage embryo
death of eggs laid by green turtles at Raine Island, the largest green turtle nesting …

Raine Island, the world's largest green turtle nesting location, has low nest hatching
success. The main causes of this low hatching success are thought to be nest destruction by …

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 …

The relative number of developing eggs is directly affected by fertilization rate, and unfertile
eggs may indirectly negatively affect development of viable eggs within the nest. Thus, the …

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

Wood turtles (Glyptemys insculpta) have been suffering range-wide population declines
since the 1900s. Most monitoring efforts of these turtles involve population surveys to assess …

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 …

A suitable gaseous, hydrous and thermal nest environment is essential for the development
of sea turtle embryos. The harvest of partial clutches by indigenous people and changes in …

Leatherback turtles have an average global hatching success rate of∼ 50%, lower than
other marine turtle species. Embryonic death has been linked to environmental factors such …

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