Loggerhead sea turtle nesting activity driven by recent climate conditions
 

New research indicates that for loggerhead sea turtles in the Northwest Atlantic, the number of returning nesting females in the population and favorable climate conditions in the year or two prior to the nesting year are strongly related to the number of nests produced by these animals in a given year. Also, in what may be good news for loggerheads, nesting increases since 2008 may be a recovery response in this threatened population.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/scien...~4/Og0tle9Nl48
