Incubation temperatures, in addition to an embryo's genetic makeup, are critical in many
aspects of adequate sea turtle embryonic development. The effects of high and low …

As climate change continues, sea turtle nests will be increasingly exposed to elevated
incubation temperatures. Higher incubation temperatures influence many aspects of sea …

Developing sea turtle embryos only successfully hatch within a relatively narrow
temperature range, rendering this immobile life stage vulnerable to the vagaries of climate …

Since the 1980s it has been known that incubation temperature influences the sex ratio of
sea turtle hatchlings emerging from their nests, and there has been much speculation on …

Warming global temperatures are predicted to reduce population viability in many oviparous
ectothermic taxa, with increased embryonic mortality likely to be a main cause. While …

Incubation temperature has significant developmental effects on oviparous animals,
including affecting sexual differentiation for several species. Incubation temperature also …

Hatchling sea turtles usually emerge under the cover of darkness but the time interval
between pipping and emergence remains a mystery to students of sea turtle research …

Egg-burying reptiles need relatively stable temperature and humidity in the substrate
surrounding their eggs for successful development and hatchling emergence. Here we show …

Marine turtles are vulnerable to climate change because their life history and reproduction
are tied to environmental temperatures. The egg incubation stage is arguably the most …

Thermal tolerances are affected by the range of temperatures that species encounter in their
habitat. Daniel Janzen hypothesized in his “Why mountain passes are higher in the tropics” …
