What is Earlier Nesting by Loggerhead Sea Turtles Following Sea Surface Warming about?

This study examines 15 years of loggerhead sea turtle nesting patterns in Florida, revealing that median nesting dates have shifted earlier by approximately 10 days due to rising sea surface temperatures. The correlation between earlier nesting and warmer May sea surface temperatures suggests that climate change is influencing the reproductive behaviors of this threatened species. The findings raise questions about the ecological implications of these shifts, including potential impacts on fecundity and hat
