Vulnerability of marine turtles to climate change
ES Poloczanska, CJ Limpus, GC Hays - Advances in marine biology, 2009 - Elsevier
Marine turtles are generally viewed as vulnerable to climate change because of the role that
temperature plays in the sex determination of embryos, their long life history, long age-to …

A review of long‐distance movements by marine turtles, and the possible role of ocean currents
Sea turtle movements often occur in open‐sea unsheltered areas, and are therefore likely to
be influenced by major oceanographic processes. Only recently has work started to examine …
