Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “Marine turtles in Florida in the United States are nesting earlier in response to warmer ocean temperatures (Weishampel et al. 2004).”
A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, background): “, 2001), as well as a tendency to breed during cooler periods of the year (Weishampel et al., 2004; Pike et al., 2006; Tucker et al., 2008a).”
Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “Phenological correlations in this study and others (Mrosovsky et al., 1984; Weishampel et al., 2004; Pike et al., 2006) suggest that either changing temperatures in the future could drive adaptive phenological change to maintain current thermal conditions in nests or that turtles may adapt the…”
Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, background): “…of their nesting grounds, nest-site choice and nest depth (Hays et al., 2001; Limpus, 2006); 2) adapting in situ by adjusting their pivotal temperature (Davenport, 1989; Hawkes et al., 2007); and 3) shifting nesting to cooler months (Hays et al., 2003; Weishampel et al., 2004; Pike et al., 2006).”
Is climate change affecting the population dynamics of the endangered Pacific loggerhead sea turtle (2008, background): “There is recent evidence of phenologic changes with nesting season shifts for Atlantic loggerheads (Weishampel et al., 2004; Pike etal., 2006; Hawkes etal., 2007).”
Proxy indicators of sand temperature help project impacts of global warming on sea turtles in northern Australia (2009, background): “…(Hays et al. 2001); (2) in situ adaption by adjusting either the pivotal temperature for sex determination (Davenport 1989, Hawkes et al. 2007) or the maximum incubating threshold tolerance; and (3) shifting nesting to cooler months (Hays et al. 2003, Weishampel et al. 2004, Pike et al. 2006).”
Earlier Nesting Contributes to Shorter Nesting Seasons for the Loggerhead Seaturtle, Caretta caretta (2006, methodology): “Our findings are consistent with those from a study of the same species 80-km south of our site (Weishampel et al., 2004), except that our median nesting date was roughly a month later.”
Nest site fidelity and clutch frequency of loggerhead turtles are better elucidated by satellite telemetry than by nocturnal tagging efforts: Implications for stock estimation (2010, background): “However, individual variation in nesting phenology undoubtedly exists as influenced by factors such as water temperature (Weishampel et al., 2004; Mazaris et al., 2008), migration pathways (Girard et al.”
Phenological changes in intertidal con‐specific gastropods in response to climate warming (2011, background): “…few phenological studies undertaken have primarily been limited to planktonic species, which have fast turnover rates (Edwards & Richardson, 2004), or species which are not fully marine (turtles; Weishampel et al., 2004; Mazaris et al., 2008 and birds; Gjerdrum et al., 2003; Gaston et al., 2009).”
