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, result): “Regardless, the results presented here provide a broad scale indication of the likely future temperature at each nesting site (as per other studies, see Janzen, 1994; Hays et al., 1999, 2003; Glen and Mrosovsky, 2004; Hawkes et al., 2007).”
Sun exposure, nest temperature and loggerhead turtle hatchlings: Implications for beach shading management strategies at sea turtle rookeries (2014, background): “, 2014), and increased sand temperatures (Fuentes et al., 2010b; Glen and Mrosovsky, 2004; Hawkes et al., 2007, 2009; Katselidis et al., 2012; Saba et al., 2012).”
A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, background): “…towards females (more than 90% female; reviewed in Hawkes et al., 2009), and that recent increases in temperature have, or are expected to, reduce the proportion of males produced (Godley et al., 2001; Glen & Mrosovsky, 2004; Hawkes et al., 2007) and could eventually eliminate all male production.”
Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “…changes in temperature close to the pivotal temperature at which a 50:50 sex ratio is produced (~29°C for marine turtles) skew the sex ratio of hatchlings, with warmer temperatures producing more females (Yntema & Mrosovsky 1982, Godfrey et al. 1999, Booth & Astill 2001, Glen & Mrosovsky 2004).”
Metabolic heating in Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtle clutches (2006, background): “…of metabolic heating are a general characteristic of sea turtle clutches and that metabolic heating becomes evident around halfway through development and raises towards hatching (Godfrey et al., 1997; Booth and Astill, 2001; Broderick et al., 2001; Godley et al., 2001; Glen and Mrosovsky, 2004).”
Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “…consider it unlikely that turtles would be able to adapt pivotal temperature in the shortterm (less than several hundred years; cf. Morjan, 2003; Glen & Mrosovsky, 2004; Nelson et al., 2004), although plasticity in the transitional range of temperatures surrounding the pivotal temperature could…”
