Rising global temperatures threaten to disrupt population sex ratios, which can in turn cause
mate shortages, reduce population growth and adaptive potential, and increase extinction …

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 …

Age is a fundamental life history attribute that is used to understand the dynamics of wild
animal populations. Unfortunately, most animals do not have a practical or nonlethal method …

Global increases in beach sand temperatures are predicted to skew hatchling sex ratios of
marine turtle populations towards female bias. Currently, shade structures and freshwater …

Global sea turtle populations are threatened by rising atmospheric temperatures which
result in higher incubation temperatures. Increased incubation temperatures affect embryo …

The ranges of many species are shifting poleward as global warming intensifies, but this
process might be less intense in philopatric species, ie those with the tendency to reproduce …

Because the sex of all sea turtle hatchlings is determined by incubation temperature, with
low temperatures producing mainly males and high temperatures producing mainly females …

Because the sex of sea turtles is determined by temperature during embryonic development,
many populations are vulnerable to increased bias in primary sex ratios as global …

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

Survival in the early life stages is a major factor determining the growth and stability of
wildlife populations. For sea turtles, nest location must provide favorable conditions to …
