Bone-eating Osedax worms lived on Mesozoic marine reptile deadfalls. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report fossil traces of Osedax, a genus of siboglinid annelids that consume the skeletons of sunken vertebrates on the ocean floor, from early-Late Cretaceous (approx. 100 Myr) plesiosaur and sea turtle bones.

A new species of Peritresius Leidy, 1856 (Testudines: Pan-Cheloniidae) from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) of Alabama, USA, and the occurrence of the genus within the Mississippi Embayment of North America.

open access: yesPLoS 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).

Turtle remains from the late Miocene of the Cessaniti area, southern Italy—insights for a probable Tortonian chelonian dispersal from Europe to Africa

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Palaeontology, 2020
We here describe turtle remains from the late Miocene (Tortonian) of Cessaniti (Calabria, southern Italy), an area that recently has been palaeogeographically reconstructed as being, at that time of the Neogene, directly connected (or at least rather ...

Nest-to-Surf Mortality of Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta) Hatchlings on Florida’s East Coast

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Sea turtles are vulnerable immediately after emerging from nests and before they reach the surf. Mortality rates during this brief period are largely unknown. Many sea turtle monitoring programs measure hatchling production from nest inventories.

Visual Modelling to Predict Behavioural Responses of Catsharks, Skates, and Plaice to Artificial Light for Use in Bycatch Reduction

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Light can be used to deter bycatch from fishing nets, but few studies have aimed to quantify how species view and respond to light. Here, we used visual models to predict how target (plaice Pleuronectes platessa) and bycatch (small‐spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicular and undersized skates, Raja spp) species, captured in mixed demersal ...

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...
