Long‐Term Incubation Duration Decline Indicates Climate‐Change Driven Feminization of Three Sea Turtle Species in Florida, USA

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
We analysed more than 110,000 sea turtle nests from three species across Florida to track climate‐driven changes in incubation duration, a simple proxy for hatchling sex. Our results reveal widespread shortening of incubation periods and thus increasing feminisation, but also identify geographic and seasonal refuges where more males are produced.
