Carapacial scute variation in Loggerhead Turtles,Caretta caretta

Zoology in the Middle East, 2001
Abstract The carapacial scutes of 3511 specimens of hatchling and adult Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta) from five different nesting beaches in Turkey and Cyprus (Dalyan, Fethiye, Belek, Kizilot and Karpaz) were examined. Scutes were examined with regard to variation within carapacial scute series and variation in carapacial scute pattern.

Future Warming Decreases Irrigation‐Induced Yield Benefits in Global Food Production

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Irrigation has enabled higher and more stable food production than when farmers relied only on rainfed cropping systems in the past. However, its future benefits may diminish under climate change due to increasing crop water demand and constraints on water availability.

The Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions in the Leaf Photosynthesis‐Transpiration‐Stomatal Conductance Model for C3 Plants

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
The leaf photosynthesis–transpiration–stomatal conductance model has been widely used to quantify photosynthesis, transpiration, and stomatal conductance in terrestrial plants. However, since its proposal more than 30 years ago, it has remained unclear whether a solution always exists and, even if one is obtained, whether it is the correct one actually

Massive consumption of gelatinous plankton by Mediterranean apex predators.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen were used to test the hypothesis that stomach content analysis has systematically overlooked the consumption of gelatinous zooplankton by pelagic mesopredators and apex predators.

Evaluation of Biochemical Parameters in Caretta caretta Sea Turtles

Veterinary Sciences
The Caretta caretta is the only known sea turtle that nests along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. It is considered a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) because it is threatened by human activities. The aim of this work was to analyze biochemical parameters in different age groups of C.
