Abstract Global trends in marine turtle nesting numbers vary by region, influenced environmental or anthropogenic factors. Our study investigates the potential role of past temperature fluctuations on these trends, particularly whether warmer beaches are linked to increased due higher female production (since sea turtles have temperature‐dependent sex determination). We selected loggerhead ( Caretta caretta ) its wide distribution, strong philopatry and vulnerability changes. compiled nest counts per year 35 globally significant rookeries, analysing at regional individual beach levels. air (CHELSA) land surface (MODIS) data sets spanning last four decades (1979–2023) for each location. To analyse temporal temperatures, we used generalised additive models Mann–Kendall trend tests. Additionally, correlated with lagged variables. found warming 33 locations, 23 which also showed increases counts. results suggest that rising temperatures may be boosting regions Caribbean, Atlantic Ocean Mediterranean (sites Cayman, Mexico, Brazil, Cyprus Turkey). Furthermore, while some temporarily benefit, continued could precipitate long‐term population declines. This variability helps predict species responses climate change, general global increase already indicating short‐term effects.

ABSTRACT Sea turtles are large reptiles that inhabit the world's oceans and include seven extant species within two families: Cheloniidae Dermochelyidae. These threatened globally, with several subpopulations listed as Endangered or Critically by IUCN. Thailand hosts five sea turtle species, including leatherback ( Dermochelys coriacea ), which significant for their nesting sites along Andaman coast. Conservation efforts in beach patrols, hatcheries, community education to mitigate threats such poaching habitat destruction. Leatherback turtles, classified “Vulnerable” IUCN CITES Appendix , face challenges estimating global population size due highly migratory nature. They largest distinct physical characteristics leathery skin, lack of scales, a hard shell, backward‐pointing spines throat aid passage food. Leatherbacks reach sexual maturity at around 13–14 years age exhibit natal homing behavior nesting. have low hatching rates; only 50% eggs hatch, just 2% those hatchlings survive. Population genetic studies been key better understanding survival, revealing mtDNA haplotype diversity, notable recent radiation originating from Indo‐Pacific region. Despite this there is structuring, hints hidden populations foraging grounds may contribute variability. For reason, relocating nests favorable locations one possible conservation measure. Other strategies must address loss, pollution, bycatch, climate change protection well ensuring connectivity maintain diversity these turtles.

Abstract Loggerhead turtles ( Caretta caretta ), being ectothermic organisms, could be especially susceptible to climate change effects, and may exhibit climate‐related variation in their reproductive behaviours such as phenology, annual nest numbers, clutch size, hatching success, incubation period sex ratio. This study investigated the phenology outputs of loggerhead relationships with climatic variables over a 5‐year (2019–2023) at Patara Beach, Türkiye. We found significant fluctuations atmospheric temperature, sea surface temperature relative humidity, that female turtle emergences on Beach temporarily adjust response these minor environmental changes. highlight importance understanding impacts phenological shifts ability satisfy conditions nesting season determine output.
