Climate impacts on sea turtle breeding phenology in Greece and associated foraging habitats in the wider Mediterranean region
Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change impacts in both their terrestrial (nesting beach)
and oceanic habitats. From 1982 to 2012, air and sea surface temperatures at major high …

Size scaling of sea turtle reproduction may reconcile fundamental ecology and conservation strategies at the global scale
Aim The body size of marine megafauna can influence population dynamics because larger
females have disproportionally greater reproductive output. We explored how this size …
