Multiple Paternity in the Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta)

Journal of Heredity, 1988
Genotypic ratios within clutches of loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) embryos, from the Mon Repos rookery (Queensland), deviate significantly from the Mendelian ratios expected on the null hypothesis of single paternity. One-third of all clutches provide evidence for multiple insemination, indicating that multiple mating constitutes the major ...

The Use of DNA Microsatellite Loci for “Caretta Caretta” Identification

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2006
Caretta carettas, one of the members of Chelonidae family, live primarily in water, except the periods of their ovulation where they come out to the shores to lay their eggs. Following an incubation period of 50-60 days, the newborns return to sea water to continue their 10-12-year life.

Hue discrimination in hatchling loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta caretta)

Animal Behaviour, 1972
Abstract Hatchling Atlantic loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta caretta) were successfully trained to discriminate between broadband hues to obtain food when spatial, intensity, and other confounding cues were randomized with respect to the correct choice.

Respiratory mechanics of the loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta

Respiration Physiology, 1989
Respiratory mechanics were evaluated in excised lungs and in spontaneously breathing loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Respiratory compliance curves reflect the pressure volume characteristics of the body wall. Compliance values are comparable to those of reptiles having simpler lung structure.

Asynchronous emergence by loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta ) hatchlings

Naturwissenschaften, 2001
For many decades it has been accepted that marine turtle hatchlings from the same nest generally emerge from the sand together. However, for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) nesting on the Greek Island of Kefalonia, a more asynchronous pattern of emergence has been documented.

SPIRORCHIDIASIS IN LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES (CARETTA CARETTA): PATHOLOGY

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1982
Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the Atlantic seaboard (Florida to Massachusetts) were examined at the Marine Pathology Laboratory, University of Rhode Island, from March through December, 1980. Three genera of blood flukes (spirorchids) were found in 14 (33%) of the 43 turtles.

Nest placement by loggerhead turtles, Caretta caretta

Animal Behaviour, 1993
Abstract Abstract. Nest placement by loggerhead turtles nesting on the island of Cephalonia, Greece, was examined. The spatial distribution of nests was not uniform (N = 27 nests): they tended to be laid away from the sea, but not in vegetation that backed the beach.

The origin, development, and degeneration of the pronephros in Caretta caretta

Journal of Morphology, 1990
AbstractAn SEM and TEM study revealed details of the development of the pronephros of Caretta caretta. The pronephros develops and degenerates over 13 days from day 7 to day 20 in embryos incubated at 33°C. Podocytes, with primary branches, secondary branches, and pedicles, on a basal lamina, can be seen from day 11, as can ciliated pronephric tubule ...

HEMATOLOGY OF THE LOGGERHEAD TURTLE, CARETTA CARETTA

2011
The study of the hematological characteristics of loggerhead turtles can be very helpful in the rescue and rehabilitation of this endangered species. Normal hemocellular and biochemical values are the basis for the evaluation of a subject’s health status.
