Local Adaptation May Help Mitigate Feminisation of Sea Turtle Populations Globally
We evaluate whether sea turtles have the capacity to adapt to warming temperatures through local adaptations of the pivotal temperature at which they produce a balanced amount of male and female hatchlings. We show that at warmer sites, lower proportions of female hatchlings are produced than expected.

Genetic Divergence and Isolation of the Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the Red Sea
The green sea turtle population in the Red Sea, comprising around 5000 nesting individuals, shows genetic differentiation across five rookeries sampled on the Saudi Arabian coast. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA revealed five haplotypes grouped into two distinct haplogroups, indicating limited gene flow between rookeries and supporting the possibility of
