Oropharyngeal cavity floor morphology in Eretmochelys imbricata (Testudines: Cheloniidae) hatchlings and evolutionary implications

The Anatomical Record, 2022
Morphological studies of the oropharyngeal cavity of chelonians have become an interesting tool in the understanding of evolutionary processes associated with feeding habits in aquatic animals and the transition from aquatic to terrestrial forms. In this

Relationship between herbivory of the green turtle Chelonia mydas (Testudines: Cheloniidae) with seagrass meadow structural complexity at Cahuita National Park, Limón, Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical
Introduction: Seagrasses are habitat for the green turtle (Chelonia mydas). At Cahuita National Park (CNP), seagrass have been monitored since 1999. Over time, the canopy complexity of the dominant seagrass species (Thalassia testudinum) has declined ...

Marine debris ingestion by Chelonia mydas (Testudines: Cheloniidae) on the Brazilian coast

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015
Chelonia mydas is distributed in several regions of the world and they are common in coastal regions and around islands. Between August 2008 and July 2009, 20 specimens of C. mydas were found dead on the beaches of Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. The stomachs were removed and anthropogenic wastes were separated according their malleability and color.

Autumn Sightings of Marine Turtles (Cheloniidae) off South Texas

The Southwestern Naturalist, 1983
Based on sightings during low-altitude aerial surveys, 21-30 September 1979, the total number of marine turtles off South Texas-Aransas to Brownsville, inland coast to 18 m contour-was estimated conservatively as 19.0 ? .6. Turtles seen were probably loggerheads or Kemp's ridleys. One large turtle was seen in Laguna Madre adjacent to Mansfield Cut. All

Swimming in Sea Turtles of the Family Cheloniidae

Copeia, 1971
Cheloniid turtles swim by moving the blade of their pectoral flipper up and down along a line inclined from 40? to 70? from the horizontal plane. The leading edge of the blade is inclined anteroventrally on the downstroke and anterodorsally on the upstroke, and the tip of the blade usually inscribes a figure 8.
