The seven species of sea turtles occupy a diversity of niches, and have a history tracing
back over 100 million years, yet all share basic life‐history features, including exceptional …

The evolution of female promiscuity poses an intriguing problem as benefits of mating with
multiple males often have to arise via indirect, genetic, effects. Studies on birds have …

Entanglement in anthropogenic debris poses a threat to marine wildlife. Although this is
recognised as a cause of marine turtle mortality, there remain quantitative knowledge gaps …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles (Lutz and Musick, 1997), studies using
molecular techniques to address a variety of questions about sea turtle biology and life …

All six species of sea turtles found in US waters are listed as endangered or threatened, but
the exact population sizes of these species are unknown due to a lack of key information …

Marine turtles migrate across long distances, exhibit complex life histories, and occupy
habitats that are difficult to observe. These factors present substantial challenges to …

Choice for mate quality and number of mates are key components of female mating
strategies. We investigated how selection on female choosiness also influences number of …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles was published in 1997, the field has
grown and matured in ways few of the authors would have predicted—particularly in the …

Patterns of temperature fluctuations in nature affect numerous biological processes, yet,
empirical studies often utilize constant temperature treatments. This can limit our …

Proposed benefits of multiple paternity include increased reproductive output, elevated
fitness of progeny, and maintenance of population genetic diversity. However, another …
