Investigating the potential impacts of climate change on a marine turtle population (2007, background): “The highly female-skewed southern Florida population may, under worst case scenarios, reach a 100% female asymptote, at which point males from further north in the population may be essential for the continued production of hatchlings from southern beaches.”
Important areas at sea for adult loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: satellite tracking corroborates findings from potentially biased sources (2008, result): “Population dynamics models have, however, unequivocally revealed the high impact of immature and adult survival rates on the fate of sea turtle populations (Crouse et al. 1987; Heppell et al. 2003).”
