Adaptation of sea turtles to climate warming: Will phenological responses be sufficient to counteract changes in reproductive output?

Fuentes, M. M. P. B., Santos, A. J. B., Abreu-Grobois, A., Briseno-Duenas, R., Al-Khayat, J., Hamza, S., … Monsinjon, J. R. (2023, October 31). GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY.

By: M. Fuentes *, A. Santos *, A. Abreu-Grobois *, R. Briseno-Duenas*, J. Al-Khayat *, S. Hamza *, S. Saliba *, D. Anderson ...

author keywords: adaptive response; climate change; ectotherms; marine turtles; phenology; reproductive output; sea turtles
TL;DR: Given that phenological shifts will not be able to ameliorate predicted changes in temperature, hatching success and sex ratio at most sites, turtles may need to use other adaptive responses and/or there is the need to enhance sea turtle resilience to climate warming. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 review

Assessing the evidence of 'infertile' sea turtle eggs

[Review of ]. ENDANGERED SPECIES RESEARCH, 41, 329–338.

By: A. Phillott * & M. Godfrey n

author keywords: Sea turtle; Egg; Embryo; Fertile; Infertile; Fertilization; Feminization
TL;DR: It is argued that infertility in sea turtle eggs can be demonstrated only by the absence of holes caused by sperm penetration of the inner perivitelline membrane; sperm bound between the inner and outer periviteslline membranes; nuclei in the blastodisc; embryonic tissue or membranes in egg contents; and/or the characteristic white spot on the egg exterior.
