Swimming performance of hatchling green turtles is affected by incubation temperature (2006, unknown): “Hatchlings from eggs incubated at 26 C were larger than hatchlings from eggs incubated at 30 C, as previously reported for green turtles (Booth and Astill 2001a).”
The influence of incubation temperature on post-hatching fitness characteristics of turtles (2004, background): “Conversion of more yolk to tissue during embryonic development at lower temperatures has been noted previously in the Green turtle [9], and in some other reptiles [10].”
Climate influences the global distribution of sea turtle nesting (2013, background): “…strongly influences the viability of incubating eggs (Ackerman, 1997; Packard, 1999; Houghton et al., 2007) and phenotypes of the offspring (Booth & Astill, 2001a; Glen et al., 2003), and ambient (air) temperatures correlate strongly with nest temperatures (Godley et al., 2001; Hays et…”
