A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, background): “…experience additional warmth through metabolic heat from the developing eggs (MH), which may increase the temperature of the whole clutch by several degrees at various points during the incubation period (Godfrey et al., 1997; Broderick et al., 2001; Zbinden et al., 2006; Sandoval et al., 2011).”
Molecular ecology of marine turtles: New approaches and future directions (2008, background): “Instead, as a cheap and easy alternative for estimating hatchling sex, field ecologists currently opt to use length of incubation as measured by observing the period of time taken for hatchlings to emerge from nests, with long and short durations implying low and high temperatures respectively (Mros”
