Since the 1980s it has been known that incubation temperature influences the sex ratio of
sea turtle hatchlings emerging from their nests, and there has been much speculation on …

The majority of robotic vehicles that can be found today are bound to operations within a
single media (ie land, air or water). This is very rarely the case when considering locomotive …

Sea turtles are basically creatures that spend their entire lives in marine or estuarine

In the western Atlantic young sea turtles in their surface-pelagic juvenile stage, a stage often
described as the lost year (s), have been hypothesized to occupy habitat dominated by …

The Labridae is an ecologically diverse group of mostly reef associated marine fishes that

grown at a reduced rate as a result of suboptimal environmental conditions is exposed to …

We collected data on nesting ecology and identified individual turtles that nested at Parque
Nacional Las Baulas, Costa Rica, one of the few remaining nesting sites for Pacific …

Aquatic flight, performed by rowing or flapping fins, wings or limbs, is a primary locomotor
mechanism for many animals. We used a computer simulation to compare the mechanical …
