Productive foraging grounds enhance maternal condition and offspring quality in a capital breeding species Open
Feeding ecology is an essential component of an organism's life, but foraging comes with risks and energetic costs. Species in which populations exhibit more than one feeding strategy, such as sea turtles, are good systems for investigatin…

Shearwaters sometimes take long homing detours when denied natural outward journey information Open
The cognitive processes (learning and processing of information) underpinning the long-distance navigation of birds are poorly understood. Here, we used the homing motivation of the Manx shearwater to investigate navigational decision maki…

Effects of global warming on species with temperature‐dependent sex determination: Bridging the gap between empirical research and management Open
Global warming could threaten over 400 species with temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD) worldwide, including all species of sea turtle. During embryonic development, rising temperatures might lead to the overproduction of one sex…

Maternally derived sex steroid hormones impact sex ratios of loggerhead sea turtles Open
Global warming could drive species with temperature-dependent sex determination to extinction by persistently skewing offspring sex ratios. Evolved mechanisms that buffer these biases are therefore paramount for their persistence. Here, we…
