A review of how the biology of male sea turtles may help mitigate female-biased hatchling sex ratio skews in a warming climate
In a warming climate, male sea turtles may become increasingly rare due to temperature-
dependent sex determination with females being produced at warmer temperatures. Hence …

A review of the importance of south-east Australian waters as a global hotspot for leatherback turtle foraging and entanglement threat in fisheries
Australia's largest sea turtle is the leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea). Leatherbacks do not
nest, or only rarely, in Australia, and hence receive relatively little research attention. Here …
