Spot Marine Life: Turtles are trying to keep up with the heated country by laying early – Cyprus Newspaper

Spot Marine Life, as a result of their work in the country to keep up with the temperatures of the caretta in 1993 since 1993 announced that they have started to ovulate 0.78 days a year.

Spot Marine Life shared some predictions with the public based on the observations on the Alagadi coast they have watched since 1992.

According to estimates, if the carettas (large-headed sea turtles) do not start ovulation early in proportion to increasing temperatures, their eggs will fail after 2100 years.

At least for now, the caretta in the heated country, to continue to exist and to keep up with the increasing temperatures of the necessary effort to record Spot Marine Life, but KAlthough it may seem that the Aplumba may cope with increasing temperatures so far, he also pointed out the uncertainty of the future.

Spot Marine Life stressed that making nature resistant to climate change is essential for both people and wildlife.

Spot Marine Life's sharing on the subject is as follows;

“As Spot Marine Life, we have been watching the sea turtles that have been growing in our country since 1992, we are trying to understand their lives and attempts to protect them.

There are many elements that threaten them. Many human threats from human beings. But nowadays one of the most worrying threats is climate change. And it is a question that arouses curiosity all over the world where they can stand in the face of this rapidly coming threat.

In order to find some answers to this question, we have benefited from the monitoring studies since 1992. We did some analyzes. We've collected clues that would allow us to answer these questions.

Sea turtles generally return to the beaches where they were born. The sexes are determined by temperature. As the temperature increases, the number of female individuals in the nest increases. If the temperature rises further, the healthy development of the offspring and the formation of the egg in the egg risk.

We have made some predictions by taking advantage of our observations on the Alagadi coast we have been watching since 1992.

Our estimates indicate that the eggs will fail after 2100 years if the carettas (large-headed sea turtles) do not start ovulation early in proportion to increasing temperatures. In short, early ovulation is essential to keep up with the heated country.

According to our estimates, they need to start nesting at an earlier 0.5 days a year in order to keep gender rates constant by maintaining their existing nest temperatures. There is no problem in the development of eggs, that is, they should lay eggs earlier 0.7 days earlier to keep their eggs out of their existing success.

And good news, because what they have done is: they have started to ovulate 0.78 days a year since 1993!

In other words, at least for now, they are making the necessary effort to continue to exist in our country, which is warmed up and to keep up with the increasing temperatures.

We determined that green turtles lay eggs 6.47 days earlier for every 1 ° C increase at sea temperature. More experienced females and individuals who produce more eggs seem to be more prone to premature nesting.

Although our turtles may seem to cope with increasing temperatures so far, the future is still unclear. Climate conditions are changing even faster than expected. It is unclear whether the turtles can react quickly to this change or how long they can adapt.

It is essential for both ourselves and our wildlife to make our nature resistant to climate change. All of our works are carried out with the permission and support of the Environmental Protection Department. «
