Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “…some reptile species where females have been shown to consistently select nest microenvironments with similar thermal conditions, even in different locations (e.g. the painted turtle, Chrysemys picta, Janzen & Morjan, 2001; and the hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, Kamel & Mrosovsky, 2005).”
Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, background): “There has been some debate about the repeatability of nest site selection by individual females (e.g. Kamel & Mrosovsky 2005 vs. Pfaller et al. 2009 and Nordmoe et al. 2004).”
The repeatability of behaviour: a meta-analysis (2009, background): “Kamel & Mrosovsky 2005 Eretmochelys imbricata Reptilia Kamel & Mrosovsky 2004 Dermochelys coriacea Reptilia Janzen & Morjan 2001 Chrysemys picta Reptilia Spencer & Thompson 2003 Emydura macquarii Reptilia Serrano et al. 2005 Falco naumanni Aves”
Different male vs. female breeding periodicity helps mitigate offspring sex ratio skews in sea turtles (2014, background): “For example, the behavioral polymorphism in nest site selection, which may have a genetic basis (Kamel and Mrosovsky, 2005), and the conservatism of pivotal temperatures (Mrosovsky, 1994) might be indicative of adaptive mechanisms toward ensuring optimum sex ratios.”
