Interaction Between Age and Individual Heterogeneity Shapes Breeding Probability in a Long-Lived Marine Ectotherm. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUsing a 52‐year dataset on captive green turtles, our study reveals that individual quality and age are the primary drivers of reproductive patterns. We found that high‐quality turtles bred more consistently throughout their lives and that females maintained a high reproductive value into old age despite evidence of physical aging.
