Climate Driven Egg and Hatchling Mortality Threatens Survival of Eastern Pacific Leatherback Turtles
Egg-burying reptiles need relatively stable temperature and humidity in the substrate surrounding their eggs for successful development and hatchling emergence. Here we show that egg and hatchling mortality of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in northwest Costa Rica were affected by climat...
