Marine turtles are only minimally sexually size dimorphic, a pattern that is distinct from most nonmarine aquatic turtles [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Turtles have been prominent subjects of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) analyses due to their compact taxonomy, mating systems, and habitat diversity. In prior studies, marine turtles were grouped with fully aquatic non‐marine turtles (NMATs).

An ancestral hard-shelled sea turtle with a mosaic of soft skin and scutes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The transition from terrestrial to marine environments by secondarily aquatic tetrapods necessitates a suite of adaptive changes associated with life in the sea, e.g., the scaleless skin in adult individuals of the extant leatherback turtle.

PLoS ONE, 2018 Late Cretaceous members of Peritresius belong to a diverse clade of marine adapted turtles currently thought to be some of the earliest representatives of the lineage leading to modern hard-shelled sea turtles (Pan-Cheloniidae).

Heterochromatin and microsatellites detection in karyotypes of four sea turtle species: Interspecific chromosomal differences [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 The wide variation in size and content of eukaryotic genomes is mainly attributed to the accumulation of repetitive DNA sequences, like microsatellites, which are tandemly repeated DNA sequences.

Plesiochorus irwinorum n. sp. (Trematoda: Gorgoderidae) from the urinary bladder of the hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata (Testudines: Cheloniidae), off the east coast of Australia. [PDF]
Syst Parasitol, 2022 Plesiochorus Looss, 1901 is a genus of Gorgoderidae infecting the urinary bladders of marine turtles globally. Currently, just two morphologically similar species are recognised, Plesiochorus cymbiformis (Rudolphi, 1819) Looss, 1901 and Plesiochorus ...

Evolutionary EcologyAbstract The Southwest Atlantic (SWA) is an important region for the Caretta caretta characterized by unique genetic lineages; however, their life history is still misunderstood. In this study, we evaluated the demographic patterns of four SWA rookeries using D-loop and microsatellites data looking for expansion and bottlenecks signals.
