Metabolic heating in Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtle clutches (2006, background): “Since sexing is not possible from external morphology in hatchling sea turtles, hatchling sex ratio estimates are traditionally inferred through indirect parameters (sand and within-nest temperatures or clutch incubation durations), based on their correlation with hatchling sex ratios established th”
Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “…Mediterranean loggerheads assessed in laboratory and field conditions is about 29 to 29.3°C and similar to other populations elsewhere, with a pivotal incubation duration (at which both sexes are produced in equal numbers) of 53 d from laying to hatching (Kaska et al. 1998, Mrosovsky et al. 2002).”
Behaviour analysis of the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta from direct in-water observation (2006, background): “However this ratio may also reflect the highly skewed bias towards females found in hatchling loggerhead turtles in Mediterranean populations (Godley et al. 2001, Mrosovsky et al. 2002).”
