Effect of North Atlantic climate variability on hawksbill turtles in the Southern Gulf of Mexico
P del Monte-Luna, V Guzmán-Hernández… - Journal of Experimental …, 2012 - Elsevier
The recent decline of nesting hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the southern Gulf
of Mexico (SGM) has been partly attributed to climate change, but the evidences to support
this idea are still developing. In sea turtles, the recruitment success and remigration interval
(the interval between two successive nesting seasons) are related to interannual variations
in oceanographic conditions at the turtles' developmental habitats. However, the effect of low-
frequency environmental variability has not been well documented. The relative changes in …
