🐢 Sea Turtle Nest: Sand Heat Diffusion, Incubation Temperature and Hatchling Sex Ratio Lab

Bury a sea turtle clutch at any depth in a sand column, drive the beach with a day-night temperature cycle, and watch heat diffuse down, metabolic heat build up and the incubation temperature set the sex ratio of the hatchlings.
