Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “Proc R Soc B 274: 1533−1538 Bucchia M, Camacho M, Santos MRD, Boada LD and others (2015) Plasma levels of pollutants are much higher in loggerhead turtle populations from the Adriatic Sea than in those from open waters (Eastern Atlantic Ocean).”
Antigua revisited: the impact of climate change on sand and nest temperatures at a hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting beach (2004, background): “To date, most of the studies of sex ratios of hatchling sea turtles have come up with estimates that are female biased, some extremely so (reviewed by Wibbels, 2003).”
Climate influences the global distribution of sea turtle nesting (2013, background): “Aspects of sea turtle embryology are highly conserved among species, including the temperature at which equal sex ratios are produced (Wibbels, 2003; Weber et al., 2011) and the thermal tolerances within which eggs successfully hatch (Ackerman, 1997).”
Field lethal incubation temperature of olive ridley sea turtle Lepidochelys olivacea embryos at a mass nesting rookery (2010, unknown): “…reptiles, sea turtles exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD; Yntema & Mrosovsky 1980, Janzen & Paukstis 1991), which is characterized by the exclusive production of a single sex below (male) or above (female) a transitional range of temperatures (TRT; Mrosovsky 1994, Wibbels 2003).”
Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “r 2007 The Authors Journal compilation r 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 13, 923–932 studied (e.g. Wibbels, 2003; Godfrey & Mrosovsky, 2006; but see studies in fresh water turtles e.g. Ewert et al., 2005).”
Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, methodology): “In foraging areas, hormonebased sex determination methods (Wibbels 2003, Braun-McNeill et al. 2007, Allen et al. 2015) require minimal invasive procedures and are promising; more validation studies of hormone-based methods should be conducted (e.g. Allen et al. 2015).”
Repeatability of nesting preferences in the hawksbill sea turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, and their fitness consequences (2005, background): “Sea turtles have temperature-dependent sex determination, with females being produced at high temperatures and males being produced at low temperatures (Wibbels 2003).”
Thermal tolerances of sea turtle embryos: current understanding and future directions (2014, background): “Unlike sex-determining temperatures, for which the pivotal range is known in some detail for most sea turtle species (Wibbels 2003), the upper maximal limit to successful incubation is less welldefined.”
