The effects of dune plant roots on loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nest success [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSand dunes are supported by the extensive root systems of dune plants that anchor the dune and protect it from erosion. While all plants that grow on the dunes support their structure, invasive plants can outcompete the native and non‐native dune plants ...

Satellite-tracking dataset of loggerhead sea turtles tracked from western Mediterranean
Data in Brief, 2022 We provide the raw data of 44 satellite-tracked loggerhead sea turtles from different life-stages collected between 2016 and 2018. Depending on life-stage and tag availability a different satellite tag was attached to the loggerhead carapace.

Male production in green sea turtles under a feminizing climate: A validated model of sex ratios with temperature-dependent sex determination. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThis study introduces validated methods to predict sex ratios in wild Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests. It quantifies beach‐scale temperature heterogeneity, incorporates clutch‐level variation in thermal sensitivity and models temperature effects across the thermosensitive period, demonstrating how temporal temperature dynamics and spatial ...
