create a null hpothesis Hypothesis Generation and Experimental DesignGreen sea turtles spend most of their lives in the ocean. Male and female sea turtles mate at sea. FromNovember to January, female sea turtles come ashore and deposit their eggs into nests that they dig in the sand.They then cover the nests and return to sea. Male turtles may never return to land. Female green sea turtlesalways attempt to return to the beach where they were hatched to lay their eggs. The nests receive no furtherparental care. Hatchlings emerge unassisted from the nest approximately two months later and immediatelyreturn to the ocean. As is the case for many turtle species, green sea turtles exhibit temperature-dependent sexdetermination, which means the temperature at which eggs are incubated will determine the sex of thehatchlings, whereas the sex of offspring in many other vertebrate groups is determined chromosomally. In greensea turtle embryos, sex determination occurs during the middle third of egg development when the embryos aresensitive to ambient temperature. Outside of this period, embryos are not physiologically affected bytemperature, unless it is extreme.With rising temperatures due to global warming, an increase in sand temperature poses a threat to maintainingrelatively even hatchling sex ratios at many of these ancestral nesting sites. Too few hatchlings of one sex mayreduce the reproductive capability of that generation. Thankfully, several organizations around the world areinvolved in programs designed to aid in the conservation of this species. Some groups help to protect areas ofbeaches used for nesting, while others operate hatcheries that serve to help increase turtle hatchling survival. Inthe hatcheries, eggs are collected from wild nests and are either moved to human-dug nests in a protected areaor are placed in artificial nest boxes. These artificial nests act as controlled, protected environments to ensurethat as many eggs as possible survive. After hatching, young are then released into the sea. One regionproviding key natural nesting habitat for green sea turtles is found along the Queensland coast of Australiawithin the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). In fact, this region supports one of the largest green sea turtle populationsin the world. In addition, the northern nesting beaches of the GBR are historically warmer than the southernnesting beaches of the GBR. Therefore, this location and population of green sea turtles provided a primeopportunity for a scientist and colleagues to study the effects of temperature differences on sex determination ingreen sea turtles.
