Marine turtles migrate across long distances, exhibit complex life histories, and occupy
habitats that are difficult to observe. These factors present substantial challenges to …

The adaptive significance of temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD) in reptiles
remains unknown decades after TSD was first identified in this group. Concurrently, there is …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles (Lutz and Musick, 1997), studies using
molecular techniques to address a variety of questions about sea turtle biology and life …

Sex of offspring in most turtles is determined by temperature-dependent sex determination
(TSD). In sea turtles, higher incubation temperatures produce female hatchlings and primary …

Sea turtles are an iconic group of marine megafauna that have been exposed to multiple
anthropogenic threats across their different life stages, especially in the past decades. This …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles was published in 1997, the field has
grown and matured in ways few of the authors would have predicted—particularly in the …

Sea turtles nest on tropical and subtropical beaches, where developmental success of egg
clutches depends on nest temperature. Higher nest temperatures increase embryo and …

Because the sex of sea turtles is determined by temperature during embryonic development,
many populations are vulnerable to increased bias in primary sex ratios as global …

Why females would mate with multiple partners and have multiple fathers for clutches or
litters is a long-standing enigma. There is a broad dichotomy in hypotheses ranging from …

For species of conservation concern, knowledge of key life‐history and demographic
components, such as the number and sex ratio of breeding adults, is essential for accurate …
