• Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, background): “…accuracy of±0.1 °C. Data loggerswere located in representative nesting areas and deployed at a standard depth of 50 cm, which is close to the green turtles' average nest depth (as per Spotila et al., 1987; Hewavisenthi and Parmenter, 2002; Matsuzawa et al., 2002; Van de Merwe et al., 2006).”
• 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): “Nonetheless, despite a general acceptance that rainfall may play an important role in sea turtle clutch development (e.g. Ragotzkie, 1959; Godfrey et al., 1996; Matsuzawa et al., 2002) this variable has received comparatively little attention.”
• Thermal tolerances of sea turtle embryos: current understanding and future directions (2014, background): “Examples of vulnerable beaches include Ostional Beach, Costa Rica (Valverde et al. 2010); Senri Beach, Japan (Matsuzawa et al. 2002); Wembrak Beach, Indonesia (Tapilatu & Tiwari 2007); and Alas Purwo National Park, Indonesia (Maulany et al. 2012b).”
• Is climate change affecting the population dynamics of the endangered Pacific loggerhead sea turtle (2008, background): “Meanwhile, it is also worth noting that Pacific warming might increase sand temperatures in the nests, which would lead to an increasing probability of hatching failure as temperatures approach lethal temperatures >34 °C (Limpus et al., 1985; Matsuzawa et al., 2002).”
