Considerable phylogeographic and population genetic research has been conducted on
marine turtles. Less attention, however, has been paid to the historical patterns and …

For vertebrates with temperature-dependent sex determination, primary (or hatchling) sex
ratios are often skewed, an issue of particular relevance to concerns over effects of climate …

The main continental nesting rookeries of the east Pacific green turtle (EPGT), Chelonia
mydas, on the Michoacan (Mexico) coast suffered drastic population declines following …

Ectothermic species are fundamentally affected by environmental temperatures, which
largely dictate their metabolic rate. In marine turtles, foraging behavior, migratory patterns …

Postcopulatory sperm storage can serve a range of functions, including ensuring fertility,
allowing delayed fertilization and facilitating sexual selection. Sperm storage is likely to be …

Olive ridley turtles, although widely distributed globally and in Indian coastal waters, have
undergone declines in recent years due to anthropogenic factors, particularly fishery‐related …

In recent years, genetic studies have been used to investigate mating systems of marine
turtles, but to date no such research has been conducted on the flatback turtle (Natator …

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 …
