Environmental Warming and Feminization of One of the Largest Sea Turtle Populations in the World.
Current Biology, 2018 Climate change affects species and ecosystems around the globe [1]. The impacts of rising temperature are particularly pertinent in species with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), where the sex of an individual is determined by incubation ...

Rapid growth in Late Cretaceous sea turtles reveals life history strategies similar to extant leatherbacks [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Modern sea turtle long bone osteohistology has been surprisingly well-studied, as it is used to understand sea turtle growth and the timing of life history events, thus informing conservation decisions.

Nest microbiota and pathogen abundance in sea turtle hatcheries
, 2020 Hatchery practices are pivotal to conservation success. In sea turtle hatcheries, reusing sand is a norm, but it remains unclear whether such an approach increases the risk of Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC) infection and mortality in sea turtle ...
