New research shows that potential adaptive responses by sea turtles, such as shifting the timing of when they nest, may not be enough to counteract the projected impacts from climate change on hatchling production.
New research led by a Florida State University professor shows that potential adaptive responses by sea turtles, such as shifting the timing of when they nest, may not be enough to counteract the projected impacts from climate change on hatchling production.
They used their data to predict how turtles might shift the timing of nesting and what hatchling success they might expect. The research was published today in"We have already observed that sea turtles are nesting earlier to align with optimal environmental conditions," Fuentes said.
Because temperature is so important to sea turtle egg incubation, scientists have long studied them for insight into how wildlife might adapt as temperatures rise. Different sea turtle species have existed for millions of years and adapted to previous changes in the Earths' climate, but the rate of change is much faster now.
