Breeding Sex Ratios in Adult Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) May Compensate for Female-Biased Hatchling Sex Ratios
KR Stewart, PH Dutton - PLoS One, 2014 - journals.plos.org
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 …

Reconstructed paternal genotypes reveal variable rates of multiple paternity at three rookeries of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in Western Australia
Female sea turtles are promiscuous, with clutches of eggs often sired by multiple males and
rates of multiple paternity varying greatly within and across species. We investigated levels …
