Morphological comparison of the larynx and trachea of Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758), Caiman yacare (Daudin, 1802) and Caiman latirostris (Daudin, 1802) [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The larynx is in the lower respiratory tract and has the function of protecting the airways, controlling, and modulating breathing, assisting the circulatory system, and vocalizing. This study aims to describe the anatomy and histology of the skeleton of

When marine turtles and vessels overlap: Mapping encounter risk along Florida's Atlantic coast

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine turtles face significant risks from vessel encounters, interventive measures require knowledge of the overlap between turtles and vessels. To identify areas and seasons with the highest likelihood of turtle–vessel interactions and inform regional management, we assessed the spatiotemporal overlap between turtles, vessels and stranded turtles ...

Quantifying spirorchiid eggs in splenic histological samples from green turtles

Helminthologia, 2019
The present study proposes a new methodology for the quantification of parasite eggs in animal tissue. Quantification of parasites are important to understand epidemiology of spirorchiid infections in sea turtles, however different methodologies for ...

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2597-2612, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Bile salts of the green turtle Chelonia mydas (L.) [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1978
1. Bile salts of the green turtle Chelonia mydas (L.) were analysed as completely as possible. 2. They consist of taurine conjugates of 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 22 xi-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholestan-26-oic acid (tetrahydroxysterocholanic acid) and 3 alpha 12 alpha, 22 xi-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestan-26-oic acid, with minor amounts of 3 alpha, 7 alpha ...

Clinical management of a severe skull fracture in a loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, November 2026.
Abstract A 30.6 kg loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) presented with a 2–3‐week‐old deep head wound, left neck and right cubital lacerations, and carapace fractures. Haematology revealed a marked leukocytosis, with other values unremarkable. Initial wound‐cleaning, an antibiotic course, fluids and vitamin B supplementation were initiated. Computed

Autopodial Development in the Sea Turtles Chelonia mydas and Caretta caretta [PDF]

Zoological Science, 2007
The manus and pes were studied using whole-mount and histological preparations of ontogenetic series of Chelonia mydas and Caretta caretta. Patterns of connectivity and sequences of chondrification events are similar to those reported for other turtle species, with respect to both the primary axis and the digital arch.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
