In this review, we consider the insight that has been gained through theoretical examination
of environmental sex determination (ESD) and thermolability–how theory has progressed …

Oviparous animals, such as turtles, lay eggs whose success or demise depends on
environmental conditions that influence offspring phenotype (morphology, physiology, and …

Sea turtles present a model for the potential impacts of climate change on imperiled species,
with projected warming generating concern about their persistence. Various sea turtle life …

Simple Summary In marine turtles, sex is determined during a precise period during
incubation: males are produced at lower temperatures and females at higher temperatures …

Leatherback marine turtles are the largest extant turtles with some individuals measuring up
to 2 m in carapace length. In addition, this species remains in oceanic habitat during much …

The impacts of anthropogenic climate change will be most dramatic for species that live in
narrow thermal niches, such as reptiles. Given the imminent threat to biodiversity, and that …

Nest microclimates influence embryonic development and survival in many lineages,
including reptiles with temperature-dependent sex determination. These microclimates are …

Over the coming century, climate change is positioned to cause substantial global impacts
likely cascading down to every ecosystem. For the Galapagos Archipelago, a warmer and …

We quantified nesting activity and incidence of nest flooding in a population of the
Magdalena River turtle (Podocnemis lewyana), which inhabits the climatic equator in …

The influence of nest incubation temperatures on carapace shape and morphological traits
of Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761)) hatchlings incubated in two …
