A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, background): “Indeed, natural conditions may be causing a feminization of hatchlings at a number of different sites (Mrosovsky & Provancha, 1992; Binckley et al., 1998; Godley et al., 2001; Baskale & Kaska, 2005; Booth & Freeman, 2006; Fuentes et al., 2009b), including a population at Rantau Abang in Malaysia whe”
Metabolic heating in Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtle clutches (2006, background): “The congruent pattern of metabolic heating over the incubation duration (this study; Broderick et al., 2001; Godley et al., 2001) suggests that average metabolic heating during the middle third of incubation can be reliably extrapolated from the amount of metabolic heating during the last third of…”
Climate influences the global distribution of sea turtle nesting (2013, background): “These layers are biologically meaningful because air temperatures place enormous constraints on nest temperatures (Godley et al., 2001; Hays et al., 2003; Hawkes et al., 2007).”
Sand temperatures for nesting sea turtles in the Caribbean: Implications for hatchling sex ratios in the face of climate change (2016, background): “2 °C in Greece (Mediterranean) (Godley et al., 2001); and 26.”
Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “Development, growth and age at sexual maturity The incubation duration of loggerhead turtle clutches is negatively correlated with nest temperature (Godley et al. 2001a, Mrosovsky et al. 2002, Kaska et al. 2006) and is highly variable among the Mediterranean beaches (see Table S15).”
Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “…success is worthy of consideration for all nesting populations with current highly skewed sex ratios (e.g. Mediterranean: Broderick et al., 2000; Godley et al., 2001a, b; Öz et al., 2004; Florida: Mrosovsky & Provancha, 1992; Mrosovsky, 1994; Hanson et al., 1998; Brazil: Marcovaldi et al.,…”
Management strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on sea turtle’s terrestrial reproductive phase (2011, unknown): “Expected increases in temperature may result in highly femalebiased populations and lower hatchling survival rates (Broderick et al. 2001; Godley et al. 2001; Hawkes et al. 2007; Fuentes et al. 2009, 2010a).”
Thermal tolerances of sea turtle embryos: current understanding and future directions (2014, background): “…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 forecasts materialise (Godley et al. 2001, Glen & Mrosovsky 2004, Hawkes et al. 2007, Fuentes et al. 2010, Laloë et al. 2014).”
Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, background): “Indeed, a female bias has been commonly reported for different sea turtle species and nesting grounds (e.g. Booth and Astill, 2001; Mrosovsky and Provancha, 1992; Godley et al., 2001) with populations appearing to function successfully with 1:2 or 1:3 male to female ratio (Hamann et al., 2007).”
Pivotal temperature for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) from Kyparissia Bay, Greece (2002, background): “…sand temperature] already collected by workers in the region, a plausible estimate of hatchling sex ratio for the Mediterranean may be attainable once a clearly defined pivotal temperature for the Mediterranean population is generated by laboratory and/or field-based studies” (Godley et al. 2001b).”
