Higher temperatures shorten inter-nesting periods in olive ridley turtles

Journal of Thermal Biology
Climate change is impacting sea turtles worldwide with the effects varying between species and populations. For example, rising temperatures have variable effects on the duration of the inter-nesting period (IP)-the time between two consecutive nests during a single nesting season.

Oxidative Stress Is a Potential Cost of Synchronous Nesting in Olive Ridley Sea Turtles. [PDF]

Antioxidants (Basel), 2022
Olive ridley sea turtles, Lepidochelys olivacea, exhibit a polymorphic reproductive behavior, nesting solitarily or in mass aggregations termed “arribadas”, where thousands of individuals nest synchronously. Arribada nesting provides fitness benefits including mate finding during nearshore aggregations and predator satiation at the time of hatching ...

Large‐scale connectivity, cryptic population structure, and relatedness in Eastern Pacific Olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Endangered species are grouped into genetically discrete populations to direct conservation efforts. Mitochondrial control region (mtCR) haplotypes are used to elucidate deep divergences between populations, as compared to nuclear microsatellites that ...
