A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, background): “Previous studies (Janzen, 1994; Hays et al., 1999; Hays et al., 2003; Hawkes et al., 2007; Hawkes et al., 2009) have found similar results.”
Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “…type, Hays et al., 2001) or (c) altering nesting temporally (e.g. nesting in cooler periods at the beginning and end of the season in order to exploit incubation environments likely to produce more males; Mrosovsky et al., 1984; Naro-Maciel et al., 1999; Hays et al., 2003; Pike et al., 2006).”
Investigating the viability of photo-identification as an objective tool to study endangered sea turtle populations (2008, background): “Furthermore it is possible to reconstruct longterm trends in hatchling sex ratios from environmental proxies such as air temperature (Hays et al., 2003).”
Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “1992, Loop et al. 1995, Godfrey et al. 1996, Binckley et al. 1998, Hewavisenthi & Parmenter 2002b, Hays et al. 2003, Glen & Mrosovsky 2004) so if temperatures rise, the proportion of eggs developing as males may be further reduced.”
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).”
Earlier nesting by loggerhead sea turtles following sea surface warming (2004, background): “Loggerhead nest numbers were highly variable from year to year (Fig. 1) perhaps reflecting foraging conditions ( Hays, 2000; Solow, 2001).”
Sand temperatures for nesting sea turtles in the Caribbean: Implications for hatchling sex ratios in the face of climate change (2016, methodology): “Current models used to estimate primary sex ratios are primarily based on air temperatures records alone (e.g. Hawkes et al., 2007; Hays et al., 1999, 2003).”
Impacts of climate change on the amphibians and reptiles of Southeast Asia (2010, background): “4 C; (Hays et al. 2003).”
Protracted rainfall decreases temperature within leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) clutches in Grenada, West Indies: Ecological implications for a species displaying temperature dependent sex determination (2007, background): “Not surprisingly this remains a contentious issue as the complexity of climate modelling poses a serious challenge to anyone seeking to interpret subsequent effects for any particular species (e.g. Portner, 2002; Guisann and Hofer, 2003; Hays et al., 2003).”
Global warming and positive fitness response in mountain populations of common lizards Lacerta vivipara (2006, background): “…et al., 2003; Sparks et al., 2005; and mammals: Post et al., 1997; Réale et al., 2003), while research on poı̈kilotherm terrestrial vertebrates have mainly focused on temperature dependent embryonic development and sex determination (Janzen, 1994; Robert & Thompson, 2001; Hays et al., 2003).”
Proxy indicators of sand temperature help project impacts of global warming on sea turtles in northern Australia (2009, methodology): “AT data from ICOADS were only used for months where more than 10 observations were recorded (as in Hays et al. 2003).”
Is climate change affecting the population dynamics of the endangered Pacific loggerhead sea turtle (2008, background): “, 2007) leading to trophic mismatch (Edwards and Richardson, 2004) for the oceanic hatchling stage, increases in nesting beach temperature that determine hatchling sex ratios and incubation success (Limpus et al., 1985; Hays et al., 2003), inundation of nesting beach habitat (Fish et al.”
Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, methodology): “, 2007); and 3) shifting nesting to cooler months (Hays et al., 2003; Weishampel et al., 2004; Pike et al., 2006).”
