• The significance of predation in nest site selection of turtles: an experimental consideration of macro- and microhabitat preferences (2003, background): “Offspring sex is determined genetically (Thompson 1983) and hatching occurs synchronously (Thompson 1989) to reduce the risk of predation (Spencer et al. 2001).”
• EXPERIMENTALLY TESTING NEST SITE SELECTION: FITNESS TRADE-OFFS AND PREDATION RISK IN TURTLES (2002, background): “Predation is an important process in many systems (e.g., aquatic), but rarely has it been considered an important evolutionary process in reptiles (Downes and Shine 1998, 1999, Spencer et al. 2001).”
