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 change is occurring at an unprecedented rate and has begun to modify the
distribution and phenology of organisms worldwide. Chelonians are expected to be …

Abstract In 1967, Dan Janzen published “Why Mountain Passes Are Higher in the Tropics” in
The American Naturalist. Janzen's seminal article has captured the attention of generations …

Although the tropics harbor the greatest species richness globally, recent work has
demonstrated that, for many taxa, speciation rates are faster at higher latitudes. Here, we …

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 …

Climate change can impact regional and global biodiversity for multiple reasons. In sea
turtles, changes in local climate at nesting beaches can affect egg and hatchling survival …

Global warming could threaten over 400 species with temperature‐dependent sex
determination (TSD) worldwide, including all species of sea turtle. During embryonic …

Global environmental change has featured a rise in macroalgae blooms. These events
generate immense amounts of biomass that can subsequently arrive on shorelines. Such a …

Just as organisms do not passively exist in their environment, developing sea turtle embryos
affect their own incubation microclimate by producing metabolic heat and other waste …

The rate of climate change experienced globally in recent decades may compromise sea
turtles' survival; especially temperature increase, which is particularly fast, impacts life …
