Thermal tolerances of sea turtle embryos: current understanding and future directions (2014, background): “…fluctuating thermal regimes can exceed 35°C, particularly over the last 2 wk of incubation, and still produce hatchings (Hewavisenthi & Parmenter 2002, Matsuzawa et al. 2002, Ischer et al. 2009, Booth & Evans 2011, Maulany et al. 2012b, Booth et al. 2013, Read et al. 2013, Wood et al. 2014).”
Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, background): “Wood et al. (2014) 248.”
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).”
Sand temperatures for nesting sea turtles in the Caribbean: Implications for hatchling sex ratios in the face of climate change (2016, background): “There are few nesting beaches where sand temperatures are below 29 °C, including Queensland, Australia (Wood et al., 2014), southern Brazil (Baptistotte et al., 1999) and Huon Coast in Papua New Guinea (Steckenreuter et al., 2010).”
