The Green Turtle Status Review Team (SRT) has undertaken a review consistent with
section 4 (a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), using the best available scientific …

We review the most comprehensive metabolic theory of life existing to date. A special focus
is given to the thermodynamic roots of this theory and to implications that the laws of physics …

Over the past 3 decades, the status of sea turtles and the need for their protection to aid
population recovery have increasingly captured the interest of government agencies, non …

Marine turtles occupy a wide range of terrestrial and marine habitats, and many aspects of
their life history have been demonstrated to be closely tied to climatic variables such as …

Recent increases in global temperatures have affected the phenology and survival of many
species of plants and animals. We investigated a case study of the effects of potential …

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

Recent studies have provided theoretical and empirical evidence about the importance of
hatchling production for sea turtle population dynamics. Therefore, understanding the effect …

The introduction of artificial light into wildlife habitats is a rapidly expanding aspect of global
change, which has many negative impacts on a wide range of taxa. In this experimental …

In sea turtles, parental investment is limited to the nutrients and energy invested in eggs that
will support embryonic development. Leatherback females have the largest clutches with the …

Artificial night lights pose a major threat to multiple species. However, this threat is often
disregarded in conservation management and action because it is difficult to quantify its …
