Sex Ratios of Olive Ridley Sea Turtles in the North Pacific High Seas: Implications for Climate Change Research

November 07, 2024

The first sex ratio estimates for olive ridleys foraging in the high seas of the North Pacific Ocean.

 Size-class distributions and sex ratio data provide critical information to assess the demography and reproductive potential of animal populations, such as sea turtles. This data can inform population models for species conservation, particularly those that contribute to the development of conservation plans that consider climate change projections.
