With reference to loggerhead turtles and the impacts of climate change, which one of the following statements is correct?
- 1Changes in chlorophyll concentrations in the ocean have had no measurable linkage with foraging success or reproductive outcomes in loggerhead turtles.
- 2Climate-driven shifts in nesting timing have fully compensated for food scarcity, leaving reproductive success largely unaffected.
- 3Rising sea surface temperatures have increased marine productivity, leading to higher food availability and improved reproductive output in loggerhead turtles.
- 4Ocean warming is associated with earlier nesting, reduced egg production and smaller body size in loggerhead turtles, with potential long-term reproductive consequences.✓
Correct answer
Ocean warming is associated with earlier nesting, reduced egg production and smaller body size in loggerhead turtles, with potential long-term reproductive consequences.
