Higher temperatures shorten inter-nesting periods in olive ridley turtles
Climate change is impacting sea turtles worldwide with the effects varying between species and populations. For example, rising temperatures have variable effects on the duration of the inter-nesting period (IP)—the time between two consecutive nests during a single nesting season. Specifically, a negative correlation between water temperature and IP has been reported in green (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtles. In contrast, previous studies have shown no correlation for olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea). Here, we assessed whether this lack of a correlation in olive ridley turtles was a product of the small sample size used in previous studies (nmax = 11). We used capture-mark-recapture data over 14 years to calculate the IP of olive ridley turtles (n = 96) nesting on two different beaches in Costa Rica. Next, we calculated mean sea surface temperature (SST) during each IP within estimated inter-nesting areas (225 km2), as inferred from previous olive ridley telemetry studies, and using data from NASA's multi-scale ultra-high-resolution sensor. Mean (±SD) IP was 22.5 ± 6.0 d (range: 13–41 d) and mean SST was 28.0 ± 0.6 °C (range: 26.1–29.5 °C). We observed a statistically significant negative relationship between SST and IP suggesting that elevated temperatures at inter-nesting habitats influence the phenology of olive ridley turtles as previously observed in other hard-shelled sea turtle species. Thus, we postulate that elevated temperatures due to climate change may influence the timing of nesting seasons for solitary nesting olive ridley turtles and may even alter timing of the olive ridley mass nesting aggregations known as arribadas.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are:
• The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature
• The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature
• Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause
• Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span
• Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment
• The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man
• Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature
• Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever
• Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia
