- Thermal tolerances of sea turtle embryos: current understanding and future directions (2014, background): “…and the mean nest temperature often increases as incubation progresses, due to seasonal temperature changes and from metabolic heat produced by late-stage embryos (Hendrickson 1958, Mrosovsky 1994, Booth & Astill 2001, Hewavisenthi & Parmenter 2002, Booth & Freeman 2006, Maulany et al. 2012a).”
- 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).”
- Antigua revisited: the impact of climate change on sand and nest temperatures at a hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting beach (2004, background): “For example, eggs at the edge of a clutch can be cooler than those in the centre (Godfrey et al., 1997; Booth & Astill, 2001); or variations can exist between the top and bottom of the clutch (e.g. Kaska et al., 1998; Houghton &Hays, 2001).”
- Temperature-dependent sex determination of Ascension Island green turtles (2002, background): “In addition, the rise in temperature as a result of metabolic heating of embryos has already been described for this site (Broderick et al. 2001), and the temporal and spatial pattern of nesting have already been ascertained with a high resolution (Mortimer & Carr 1987, Godley et al. 2001a).”
- The influence of incubation temperature on post-hatching fitness characteristics of turtles (2004, background): “Curiously, nesting beach sand temperatures from Green turtle rookeries worldwide suggest a female-biased hatchling sex ratio [15–17].”
- Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “…changes in temperature close to the pivotal temperature at which a 50:50 sex ratio is produced (~29°C for marine turtles) skew the sex ratio of hatchlings, with warmer temperatures producing more females (Yntema & Mrosovsky 1982, Godfrey et al. 1999, Booth & Astill 2001, Glen & Mrosovsky 2004).”
- Metabolic heating in Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtle clutches (2006, background): “It has been shown, however, that temperature in loggerhead clutches is not uniform for all eggs in a clutch (Godfrey et al., 1997; Hanson et al., 1998; Kaska et al., 1998; Booth and Astill, 2001; Houghton and Hays, 2001).”
- 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…”
- Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, methodology): “Higher sand temperature also decreases the incubation period of sea turtle eggs (Miller, 1985) and decreases hatchling body size andmass (Booth and Astill, 2001; Burgess et al., 2006).”
