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.

Mapping Priority Havens: Interactive Effects of Climate Change and Predator Dynamics on Sea Turtle Nesting Patterns

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Understanding broad‐scale ecological responses to global change is essential for investigating and conserving biodiversity. Sea turtles, with their ancient evolutionary history and global distribution, serve as an ideal model for understanding these ecological responses.

Acquisitive root exploration strategies help maintain higher peak sap flux rates during summer drought, but more root biomass does not

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2933-2945, June 2026.
Summary Roots are responsible for soil water uptake, yet little is known about how variation in fine‐root traits relates to whole‐tree water movement, particularly during periods of drought. By combining a 3‐yr dataset monitoring sap flow rates with measures of fine‐root biomass, length, and morphology across 10 tree species, we addressed hypotheses ...

Reabilitação de tartaruga-cabeçuda (Caretta caretta Linnaeus, 1758) após traumatismo craniano

Medicina Veterinária, 2021
Traumas cranianos em tartarugas marinhas geralmente estão relacionados à ação antrópica por colisão com embarcações motorizadas. Em sua maioria, estes eventos são fatais, e quando não, várias sequelas podem permanecer.
