Inferring the origin of new D-loop haplotypes of loggerhead sea turtles (Testudinata: Cheloniidae) from the Southwest Atlantic lineage

Mitochondrial DNA. Part A, DNA mapping, sequencing, and analysis
The populations of the loggerhead turtles, Caretta caretta, present four main D-loop mitochondrial haplogroups that are distributed across the Indo-Pacific, Mediterranean, and Atlantic oceans.

Comparative Cytogenetics of Four Sea Turtle Species (Cheloniidae): G-Banding Pattern and in situ Localization of Repetitive DNA Units

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2020
Sea turtles are considered flagship species for marine biodiversity conservation and are considered to be at varying risk of extinction globally. Cases of hybridism have been reported in sea turtles, but chromosomal analyses are limited to classical ...

Nesting Success of Lepidochelys olivacea (Cheloniidae) In Situ Incubation in the Cabo Pulmo National Park, Baja California Sur, Mexico

Pacific Science
: Information on the ecology of the olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) in Mexico is scarce, and only a few studies have been conducted on this species at the northern limit of its nesting distribution on the Baja California peninsula.

The first fossil sea turtles (Testudines: Cheloniidae) from the Cenozoic of Australia

Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology, 2014
An isolated dentary and costal identified as cf. Pacifichelys and Cheloniidae indet., respectively, are described from the upper Miocene–lower Pliocene Black Rock Sandstone of Beaumaris, Victoria, Australia. These remains represent the first fossil evidence of sea turtles from the Cenozoic of Australia.

Electrophoretic characterization of a hybrid between Eretmochelys imbricata and Caretta caretta (Cheloniidae)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1990
Abstract 1. 1. An intermediate morphotype between Eretmochelys imbricata and Caretta caretta was studied in Praia do Forte, Bahia, Brazil. 2. 2. Three enzymatic systems were successfully analyzed: SOD, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and esterase (EST). Isoelectric focusing of total soluble proteins of muscle and transferrin were shown. 3.

Ovarian follicular development in the hawksbill turtle (Cheloniidae: Eretmochelys imbricata L.)

Journal of Morphology, 2012
AbstractOvarian follicular development is an essential process in the determination of maturation stages associated with size. This association acquires importance when managing populations of threatened species. We histologically processed 11 prepubescent ovaries, four pubescent ovaries, and one breeding adult ovary with vitellogenic follicles using ...

International migrations of South American sea turtles (Cheloniidae and Dermochelidae)

Animal Behaviour, 1973
Abstract Three species of sea turtles (the leatherback, Dermochelys coriacea ; the green turtle, Chelonia mydas ; and the olive ridley, Lepidochelys olivacea ) nest abundantly in the Guianas, especially on the beaches adjacent to the mouth of the Marowijne River. Tagging demonstrated that green turtles nesting in Surinam are recruited from feeding

Helminth Parasites of Juvenile Green TurtlesChelonia mydas(Testudines: Cheloniidae) in Brazil

Journal of Parasitology, 2015
The present study offers a parasitological analysis of juvenile individuals of the green turtle ( Chelonia mydas ) found on the Brazilian coast between 2004 and 2011. Helminths were found in 90 out of 136 individuals (66.2%, CI = 57.7-74.0).

Helminth Parasites of the Juvenile Hawksbill TurtleEretmochelys imbricata(Testudines: Cheloniidae) in Brazil

Journal of Parasitology, 2015
The helminth fauna of 31 juvenile specimens of Eretmochelys imbricata from the Brazilian coast was examined. Seventeen individuals were infected with helminths (54.8%). The helminths found were: Diaschistorchis pandus, Cricocephalus albus, Metacetabulum invaginatum, Pronocephalus obliquus (Pronocephalidae), Cymatocarpus solearis (Brachycoeliidae ...
