Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research (2016, background): “This is of interest due to the potential large-scale impacts on turtle populations, particularly as climate change is already predicted to significantly alter female to male ratios (Hawkes et al., 2009).”
Somatic growth dynamics of West Atlantic hawksbill sea turtles: a spatio‐temporal perspective (2016, background): “…– and corallimorpharians are increasing on coral reefs, and models predict that their populations will increase with climate change and will not be negatively affected by ocean acidification (Hawkes et al. 2009, Norström et al. 2009, Colvard and Edmunds 2011, Bell et al. 2013, Loh et al. 2015).”
Thermal tolerances of sea turtle embryos: current understanding and future directions (2014, background): “…climate change, increased temperatures within the nest could therefore create a female bias in the primary sex ratio of some sea turtle populations (Hawkes et al. 2009, Fuentes et al. 2010, Telemeco et al. 2013b), which could lead to complete feminisation of hatchlings by 2070 if extreme climate…”
Migratory dichotomy and associated phenotypic variation in marine turtles revealed by satellite tracking and stable isotope analysis (2011, background): “Such monitoring over time may become increasingly important given anticipated changes in ecological conditions brought about by climate change (see review by Hawkes et al. 2009, Witt et al. 2010).”
Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, background): “Animals expected to be the most vulnerable are those that are heavily reliant on environmental temperature for their life history traits and/or those that exhibit temperaturedependent sexual determination (TSD) (Janzen, 1994; Hawkes et al., 2007, 2009; Mitchell, et al., 2009; Telemeco et al., 2009).”
A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, background): “However, it may still be too early to predict the direction or magnitude of climate change effects, lacking essential data from a wide range of rookeries to do so (Hawkes et al., 2009).”
Sand temperatures for nesting sea turtles in the Caribbean: Implications for hatchling sex ratios in the face of climate change (2016, background): “Until recently researchers focussed their efforts on understanding the relationship between incubation temperatures and sex ratios (Hawkes et al., 2009).”
Different male vs. female breeding periodicity helps mitigate offspring sex ratio skews in sea turtles (2014, background): “…incubation temperatures are leading to predominantly female skewed hatchling sex ratios (Mrosovsky et al., 1984; Mrosovsky and Provancha, 1992; Davenport, 1997; Hawkes et al., 2009; Poloczanska et al., 2009; Witt et al., 2010; Fuentes and Porter, 2013; but also see Katselidis et al., 2012).”
Hot and bothered: Using trait-based approaches to assess climate change vulnerability in reptiles (2016, background): “Approximately 85% of reptiles are oviparous (Tinkle and Gibbons, 1977) and may be affected by increasing temperatures during development (Hawkes et al., 2009), potentially skewing the sex ratio for species with temperaturedependent sex determination, reducing hatching success, or shifting breeding…”
Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “However, note that it is not yet understood how loggerhead turtle dietary breadth and prey distribution may change with future climate (Hawkes et al., 2009; Witt et al., 2010a), and efforts should be integrated with the modelling of prey distribution (McFarlane et al., 2000; Edwards & Richardson,…”
Satellite Tracking Sea Turtles: Opportunities and Challenges to Address Key Questions (2018, background): “The implications of this finding are important in that the female skewed hatchling sex ratios that have been widely reported around the globe (Hawkes et al., 2009) likely translate into more balanced operational sex ratios (i.”
Proxy indicators of sand temperature help project impacts of global warming on sea turtles in northern Australia (2009, background): “Sea turtles have persisted through dramatic changes in climate (temperature and sea level rise) (Hamann et al. 2007, Hawkes et al. 2009) and adapted by redistributing their nesting sites and developing new migratory routes (Hamann et al. 2007).”
Sea turtle by‐catch in the Mediterranean (2011, background): “2004b; Lewison and Crowder 2007), which also face additional pressure from many human activities including direct exploitation and climate change (Lutcavage et al. 1997; Campbell and Lagueux 2005; Hawkes et al. 2009; Witt et al. 2010).”
Sun exposure, nest temperature and loggerhead turtle hatchlings: Implications for beach shading management strategies at sea turtle rookeries (2014, background): “Sea turtles have demonstrated a remarkable capacity to survive through periods of climatic change over the millions of years they have existed, adapting to changes in temperature and sea level by shifting nesting grounds, foraging distributions and migration routes (Hamann et al., 2007; Hawkes et al”
Management strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on sea turtle’s terrestrial reproductive phase (2011, unknown): “While sea turtles have survived large climatic fluctuations during their evolutionary history (Hamann et al. 2007; Hawkes et al. 2009), there are two major obstacles limiting their capacity to adapt naturally over the required timeframes: the rate at which sea temperatures and sea levels are…”
