if nesting sites produce only female hatchlings what problems might this cause for population sizes of green sea turtles

what reproductive challenges do female sea turtles face ?
Madhur L.
What would be the effect on a sea turtle population after a disease has impacted a population? The sea turtle population would not be impacted at all. The sea turtle population would increase because they are immune to many diseases. The sea turtle population would decrease because the disease would kill off individuals. The sea turtle population would decrease because the disease wouldn't kill off individuals.

What is the primary limiting factor that determines why female animals cannot produce a very large number of very large eggs? Carrying many large eggs will make the female more vulnerable to predation. There are limits on the female's energy and ability to devote enough to all of the eggs. There would not be enough shelter possible for all of the eggs. Temperature will limit how many eggs a female can carry.
