Male production in green sea turtles under a feminizing climate: A validated model of sex ratios with temperature‐dependent sex determination

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 2119-2132, October 2026.
This 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 ...

Evaluation of a portable glucometer for blood glucose measurement in juvenile green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas)

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 10, Page 661-666, October 2026.
Blood glucose is a key physiological indicator in sea turtles, but its measurement in field settings can be challenging. Portable point‐of‐care (POC) glucometers offer practicality, yet their agreement with reference laboratory methods has not been established for juvenile green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) from the Southwestern Atlantic.
