Sex determination, sex ratios, and genetic conflict
JH Werren, LW Beukeboom - Annual review of ecology and …, 1998 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Genetic mechanisms of sex determination are unexpectedly diverse and change
rapidly during evolution. We review the role of genetic conflict as the driving force behind …

The behavioural and physiological strategies of bird and reptile embryos in response to unpredictable variation in nest temperature
Temperature profoundly affects the rate and trajectory of embryonic development, and
thermal extremes can be fatal. In viviparous species, maternal behaviour and physiology …

Relation of temperature, moisture, salinity, and slope to nest site selection in loggerhead sea turtles
DW Wood, KA Bjorndal - Copeia, 2000 - meridian.allenpress.com
Nest site selection in reptiles can affect the fitness of the parents through the survival of their
offspring because environmental factors influence embryo survivorship, hatchling quality …

Effects of roads on the structure of freshwater turtle populations
Road mortality has the potential to alter the structure of turtle populations because turtle
populations are highly sensitive to additive sources of adult mortality. To address the issue …

Impact of nest‐site selection on nest success and nest temperature in natural and disturbed habitats
Nest‐site selection behavior is a maternal effect that contributes to offspring survival and
variation in offspring phenotypes that are subject to natural selection. We investigated nest …

Trends in sex ratios of turtles in the United States: implications of road mortality
Road mortality has been implicated as a significant demographic force in turtles, particularly
for females, which are killed disproportionately on overland nesting movements. Moreover …

Nest site choice compensates for climate effects on sex ratios in a lizard with environmental sex determination
Theoretical models suggest that in changing environments natural selection on two traits,
maternal nesting behaviour and pivotal temperatures (those that divide the sexes) is …

Nest‐site selection: microhabitat variation and its effects on the survival of turtle embryos
DS Wilson - Ecology, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
It is known that turtle embryos are prone to high rates of predation; however, little is known
about microhabitat variation at the nest site and its effects on turtle embryo survival …
