芒鈧揊eminization of green sea turtle foraging aggregations in the Pacific: establishing foraging ground sex ratios for climate change research芒鈧
Using long-term datasets to compare the present results to previous studies of sex ratios of immature green turtles at foraging grounds in the Pacific we found nearly no bias in the early 1980s in Hawai芒鈧劉i (1.0F:0.96M), however, a female-bias was already prevalent in the northern Great Barrier Reef (nGBR), Australia from 1987 芒鈧 1997 (3.2F:1.0M). Current data suggest much greater female biases in both Hawai芒鈧劉i and the nGBR (3.4F:1M). Sex ratio data for sea turtle foraging locations provide important information for investigating the potential effects of climate change and consequential feminization of sea turtle populations due to their sex being determined by the environmental conditions during incubation (warmer temperatures produce more female hatchlings).
