Integrated population models: powerful methods to embed individual processes in population dynamics models
Population dynamics models have long assumed that populations are composed of a
restricted number of groups, where individuals in each group have identical demographic …

Temperature‐dependent sex determination in sea turtles in the context of climate change: uncovering the adaptive significance
P Santidrián Tomillo, JR Spotila - BioEssays, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Climate driven egg and hatchling mortality threatens survival of Eastern Pacific leatherback turtles
Egg-burying reptiles need relatively stable temperature and humidity in the substrate
surrounding their eggs for successful development and hatchling emergence. Here we show …

Shading and watering as a tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change in sea turtle nests
Increasing sand temperatures resulting from climate change may negatively impact sea
turtle nests by altering sex ratios and decreasing reproductive output. We analyzed the effect …

Nest-site selection influences offspring sex ratio in green turtles, a species with temperature-dependent sex determination
L Heredero Saura, L Jáñez-Escalada, J López Navas… - Climatic Change, 2022 - Springer
Climate change threatens species with temperature-dependent sex determination as further
warming could result in extremely biased sex ratios or offspring of only one sex. Among the …

Are coastal protected areas always effective in achieving population recovery for nesting sea turtles?
Sea turtles are highly migratory and usually dispersed, but aggregate off beaches during the
nesting season, rendering them vulnerable to coastal threats. Consequently, coastal Marine …

Untangling the impacts of nets in the southeastern Pacific: Rapid assessment of marine turtle bycatch to set conservation priorities in small-scale fisheries
J Alfaro-Shigueto, JC Mangel, J Darquea, M Donoso… - Fisheries …, 2018 - Elsevier
Bycatch of marine megafauna by small-scale fisheries is of growing global concern. The
southeastern Pacific sustains extensive fisheries that are important sources of food and …

High beach temperatures increased female-biased primary sex ratios but reduced output of female hatchlings in the leatherback turtle
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 …
