• 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).”
• 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.,…”
• Behaviour analysis of the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta from direct in-water observation (2006, background): “However this ratio may also reflect the highly skewed bias towards females found in hatchling loggerhead turtles in Mediterranean populations (Godley et al. 2001, Mrosovsky et al. 2002).”
• Thermal conditions in nests of loggerhead turtles: further evidence suggesting female skewed sex ratios of hatchling production in the Mediterranean (2001, methodology): “Ž. the Mediterranean region, although Godley et al. 2001 have suggested that based on data regarding incubation durations in Cyprus and available published data on incubation durations, sex ratio of hatchling production is likely to be female-biased.”
