摘要: Abstract Ocean temperature is a key determinant of the distribution and phenology marine life, particularly poikilotherms. We examined effects ocean on nesting fecundity for Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) in northern Gulf Mexico using long-term survey data from northwest Florida. The first clutch year was deposited earlier when sea surface months prior to season warmer this resulted longer season. Nest abundance size were associated with monthly mean just season, higher occurring years. Higher nest success February lower May temperature. Median date not Our results provide further details about impacts thermal environment Turtle life history suggest that altered temperat...
