HATCHLINGS OF THE MARINE TURTLE LEPIDOCHELYS OLIVACEA DISPLAY SIGNS OF PRENATAL STRESS AT EMERGENCE AFTER BEING INCUBATED IN MAN-MADE NESTS: A PRELIMINARY REPORT

Hatchlings of the Marine Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea Display Signs of Prenatal Stress at Emergence after Being Incubated in Man-Made Nests: A Preliminary Report

Egg translocation and incubation in man-made nests (MMN) are common conservation practices through marine turtle hatcheries worldwide.These measures have been associated with reduced hatching rates, altered hatchling sex ratio, fetal dysmorphic anatomical features, and feeble hatchlings health.Previous studies have shown that MMN and natural nests
