Sea turtle, climate change and nesting

Turtles are changing their nesting patterns in response to climate change - and potential extinction
Turtles are changing their nesting patterns in response to climate change - and potential extinction - Scientists say how long the cold-blooded sea creatures will be able to survive in a warming world
Research shows turtles change nesting patterns in response to climate change
New research shows that turtles are responding to climate change by nesting earlier. Researchers monitoring nesting green and loggerhead turtles in Cyprus have discovered they are returning to their regular nesting spots earlier each year to compensate for rising temperatures.
Climate change could make more turtles female – but some are starting to adapt
Unless sea turtles find a way to counteract rising nest temperatures, climate change could produce an increasing number of females and fewer offspring – a frightening scenario for sea turtle biologists like us.
Turtles Race Against the Heat As Climate Change Shifts Nesting Seasons
Turtles are proving to be surprisingly adaptable in the face of climate change, shifting their nesting season earlier each year to cope with rising temperatures. Scientists studying green and loggerhe
Turtles nesting earlier in Cyprus as climate warms
Researchers from the University of Exeter studying the nesting habits of green and loggerhead turtles have discovered that the turtles are returning to the island earlier each year, a phenomenon seen as a successful adaptation to climate change.
Cyprus: Turtles Race Against Climate Doom Nesting Early to Save Young
New research reveals a desperate struggle unfolding on the beaches of Cyprus, where green and loggerhead turtles are battling climate change by nesting earlier each year. Researchers monitoring these ancient mariners have uncovered a startling trend: the turtles are returning to their ancestral nesting grounds sooner to escape rising temperatures that threaten their offspring’s survival.
