Scientists tracked a point on a map from their computers at home this spring, witnessing it travel up the southeast coast of Florida. The point represented a male sea turtle, and the tracks provided a ...

Monitoring the populations of one of nature’s slower creatures could become faster, thanks to the University of Georgia. UGA researchers have developed an easier, more cost effective way to learn more ...

This nesting season, researchers will begin to track the long-elusive male sea turtles, which could be dwindling globally. Since 2010, scientists have been able to track female loggerhead sea turtles ...

ATHENS, Ga. — Male sea turtles have been difficult to keep tabs on. Once they hatch, they leave land and rarely return. But research by University of Georgia scientists has developed an easier method ...

Summer campers at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center wait to see a loggerhead turtle released, waving signs that say "Welcome Home!" and "Good Luck Bovenizer" Bovenizer was ready to make a beeline for ...

ORLANDO, Fla. — In her lab, just off the main campus at Florida Atlantic University, biologist Jeanette Wyneken likes to quip, "Hot chicks and cool dudes." It’s her way of explaining how sea turtles ...

Before turtles are hatched — when they're just tiny embryos inside their eggs — they may be able to influence whether they will become male or female, according to a study in China. And this could ...

Climate change is causing the "feminisation" of green turtle populations in far north Queensland, but a study shows seawater irrigation could potentially reverse the male drought. The research, part ...

Scientists have started to crack the 50-year-old puzzle of how temperature turns baby turtles male or female. Researchers show that cooler egg incubation temperatures turn up a key gene called Kdm6b ...

Warming sand temperatures are causing a higher ratio of female sea turtle hatchlings. Scientists have lacked a reliable method to count male sea turtles until a recent breakthrough. A new technique ...
