Mediterranean warming skews turtle sex ratios, signaling ecosystem stress

Rising Mediterranean temperatures are causing a female-biased sex ratio in sea turtle hatchlings on Turkey's coast, as incubation temperature determines sex. This serves as an early biological indicator of regional warming, with implications for species survival and ecosystem health. The report is based on observational data, but long-term population impacts remain uncertain.
