I believe that we all know about global warming, and I just post about higher temperature in many cities across America:
- Higher Temperature due to Heat Island Effect – Science 15
Increasing of temperatures has caused responds either positively or negatively by natures (animals).
Just for one example that in fact, eggs of sea turtles have hatching almost all female of new babies in many places in recent years.
Normally, ratio between female and male turtle babies was about 60% to 40% or 65% to 35%.
99% of females for newborn turtle has been found in the beaches include in the areas of:
- in Florida, USA beach
As you might know that turtle gender is determined by temperature after fertilization. Few other animals are (examples only):
- some species of lizards
Then, temperature during eggs incubation in the beaches (sand) will decide turtle baby's sex:
- higher than 31 Celsius (88.8 F) degree will hatch almost female
Now, you may guess why newborn turtles are tending to almost all females.

Really, the repercussions of changing temperatures are much greater than we think, that was an aspect I had never thought of. And that alone should change many other things!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea, thanks for the post.
