Within the Hawaiian archipelago, green turtle nesting has occurred almost exclusively in the
northwestern Hawaiian Islands, mainly at French Frigate Shoals (FFS), however an increase …

Recent studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation among marine turtle populations are
consistent with the hypothesis that females return to beaches in their natal region to nest as …

Reproductive success is a critical measure of an organism's fitness. Determining
reproductive success in vertebrates is confounded by the concealed mechanism and timing …

Species that have temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD) often produce highly
skewed offspring sex ratios contrary to long‐standing theoretical predictions. This ecological …

This study presents a comprehensive genetic analysis of stock structure for leatherback
turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), combining 17 microsatellite loci and 763 bp of the mtDNA …

Species that display temperature-dependent sex determination are at risk as a result of
increasing global temperatures. For marine turtles, high incubation temperatures can skew …

Measures of reproductive output in turtles are generally positively correlated with female
body size. However, a full understanding of reproductive allometry in turtles requires …
