A review of patterns of multiple paternity across sea turtle rookeries
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 …

Highly feminised sex-ratio estimations for the world's third-largest nesting aggregation of loggerhead sea turtles
Despite being a fundamental life-history character, there is a paucity of population-wide,
data-driven studies of primary sex ratios for any marine turtle species. The Republic of Cape …
