Humedad y temperatura en nidos naturales y artificiales de tortuga golfina Lepidochelys olivacea (Eschssholtz 1829)

The variation in moisture and temperature was analized in the hatching of olive ridley turtle Lepidochelys olivacea eggs, during the 1992-1993 season in “El Verde” beach (Sinaloa, Mexico). This variation was compared for different incubation environments (natural nests, corrals and polystyrene boxes...
