Locomotion performance of green turtle hatchlings from the Heron Island Rookery, Great Barrier Reef (2009, background): “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).”
Swimming performance of hatchling green turtles is affected by incubation temperature (2006, background): “In green turtles, incubation temperature also influences hatchling mass, the amount of yolk converted to hatchling tissue during incubation (Booth and Astill 2001a) and the stroke rate of front flippers during swimming (Booth et al. 2004).”
A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, result): “These results agree with those of previous studies that have shown the negative effects of high temperatures on hatching success rates (Bilinski et al., 2001; Booth et al., 2005) and hatchling vigour in marine turtles (Drake & Spotila, 2002; Glen et al.”
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).”
