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 …

When population-advantageous primary sex ratios are female-biased: Changing concepts to facilitate climate change management in sea turtles
