Artificial light at night (ALAN) is closely associated with modern societies and is rapidly
increasing worldwide. A dynamically growing body of literature shows that ALAN poses a …

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 …

Quantifying demographic parameters and variable vital rates, such as somatic growth rates,
time to maturity, and reproductive longevity, is important for effective management of …

Elevated incubation temperatures of sea turtle nests decrease hatching success and alter
the resulting hatchlings' morphology. There is an absence of studies assessing the …

Claws are the most common attachment mechanism in vertebrates. The comparative
anatomy and morphology of claws has been studied mainly in reptiles and birds. However …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been and is still spreading rapidly across the globe.
Although many studies have demonstrated its adverse effects on the behavior and …

Successful embryonic development depends on the interaction between genetic factors and
environmental variables. Congenital malformations in sea turtles can result from extreme …

Introducción: El presente estudio pretende determinar la vulnerabilidad de las áreas de
anidación de tortugas marinas del occidente del archipiélago cubano ante el cambio …

Hatching success and failure is influences by the interaction between biotic and abiotic
factors during the incubation period. Non optimal nest is susceptible to bacterial …

Many researchers work at the interface of organisms and environment. Too often, the
insights that organismal, or functional, biologists can bring to the understanding of natural …
