Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, background): “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).”
Sun exposure, nest temperature and loggerhead turtle hatchlings: Implications for beach shading management strategies at sea turtle rookeries (2014, unknown): “during embryonic development at cooler temperatures (Booth and Astill, 2001a; Booth et al., 2004; Burgess et al., 2006).”
Sand temperatures for nesting sea turtles in the Caribbean: Implications for hatchling sex ratios in the face of climate change (2016, background): “Though, this may be obscured by the fact that higher incubation temperatures produce smaller turtle hatchlings (Burgess et al., 2006).”
Locomotion performance of green turtle hatchlings from the Heron Island Rookery, Great Barrier Reef (2009, methodology): “This Wnding is consistent with previous studies that found green turtle hatchlings from eggs incubated at 25.5 and 26°C were poorer swimmers than hatchlings from eggs incubated at 28 and 30°C (Booth et al. 2004; Burgess et al. 2006 ).”
