Are thermal barriers "higher" in deep sea turtle nests? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Thermal tolerances are affected by the range of temperatures that species encounter in their habitat. Daniel Janzen hypothesized in his "Why mountain passes are higher in the tropics" that temperature gradients were effective barriers to animal movements
