Efficacy of artificial nest shading as a climate change adaptation measure for marine turtles at Ascension Island

Efficacy of artificial nest shading as a climate change adaptation measure for marine turtles at Ascension Island

Abstract Successful embryonic development and offspring sex ratios of marine turtles are determined by thermal conditions experienced during incubation, rendering them potentially vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change. With the rate of projected temperature rises likely to outpace the adaptive...
