Rate My Professor Jeanette Wyneken

Wyneken authored the influential book The Anatomy of Sea Turtles (NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-SEFSC-470, 2001), which has garnered significant citations. Notable publications include "Wyneken J, Salmon M. 2020. Linking Ecology, Morphology and Behavior to Conservation: Lessons Learned from Studies of Sea Turtles. Integrative and Comparative Biology 60(2):440-455," "Mansfield KL, Wyneken J, Luo J. 2021. First Atlantic Satellite Tracks of ‘Lost Years’ Green Turtles Support the Importance of a Sargasso Sea as a Sea Turtle Nursery. Proceedings of the Royal Society B 288:20210057," and "Monsinjon JR, Guillon J, Wyneken J, Girondot M. 2022. Thermal Reaction Norm for Sexualization: The Missing Link between Temperature and Sex Ratio for Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination. Ecological Modelling 473:110119." She received the International Sea Turtle Society Champions Award in 2019 for outstanding work towards effective conservation of sea turtles. Her research is supported by the Sea Turtle Grants Program and a $1.6 million grant from the Glenn W. Bailey Foundation in 2024 to extend the SEA Scholars program, which she created to train students in marine science research, public education, and outreach. Through long-term studies, collaborations, and science communication, Wyneken's contributions inform sea turtle management strategies and enhance public understanding of marine conservation.
