• The significance of predation in nest site selection of turtles: an experimental consideration of macro- and microhabitat preferences (2003, background): “…nesting with respect to microhabitat because of its effects on development (Bilinski et al. 2001), sex (Janzen and Morjan 2001) and survival (Wilson 1998, Kolbe and Janzen 2001), although females also respond to the threat of direct predation by locating their nests closer to shore (Spencer 2002a).”
• Putting Eggs in One Basket: Ecological and Evolutionary Hypotheses for Variation in Oviposition-Site Choice (2010, background): “Therefore, TSD potentially affords reptiles control over the offspring sex ratio via nest-site choice ( Janzen & Morjan 2001).”
• Variation in nesting patterns affecting nest temperatures in two populations of painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) with temperature-dependent sex determination (2003, methodology): “The majority of C. picta bellii nests in Illinois ( Janzen and Morjan 2001 ) and northwestern Iowa (Ratterman and Ackerman 1989) are constructed tens of meters from standing water, whereas nests in New Mexico were constructed only a few meters from the water.”
• Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “…some reptile species where females have been shown to consistently select nest microenvironments with similar thermal conditions, even in different locations (e.g. the painted turtle, Chrysemys picta, Janzen & Morjan, 2001; and the hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, Kamel & Mrosovsky, 2005).”
• Repeatability of nesting preferences in the hawksbill sea turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, and their fitness consequences (2005, background): “If a female placed her first nest in a poor-quality habitat, then subsequent nests would also be doomed (Lotem 1993; Janzen & Morjan 2001).”
• Nest site choice compensates for climate effects on sex ratios in a lizard with environmental sex determination (2006, background): “…of the sexes by a shift in the maternal traits of nest site selection (nesting in warmer or cooler localities, Janzen, 1994a; Roosenburg, 1996; Janzen and Morjan, 2001), phenology (nesting earlier or later in the season, Doody et al., 2004) or nest site construction (nesting deeper or…”
