Detection of polymorphisms of the mtDNA control region of Caretta caretta (Testudines: Cheloniidae) by PCR-SSCP

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Research, 2009
Marine turtles are increasingly being threatened worldwide by anthropogenic activities. Better understanding of their life cycle, behavior and population structure is imperative for the design of adequate conservation strategies. The mtDNA control region is a fast-evolving matrilineal marker that has been employed in the study of marine turtle ...

Unveiling the Evolutionary Lineages and Habitat Dynamics of the Monotypic Crowned River Turtle Hardella thurjii (Gray, 1831) (Testudines: Geoemydidae): Strategic Conservation Insights for an Endangered Freshwater Turtle From Southern Asia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
This study provides the first complete mitochondrial genome of the monotypic H. thurjii , sequenced using next‐generation technologies. Additionally, it employs ensemble species distribution modeling to evaluate habitat suitability and shape geometry under both current and projected climatic scenarios.

Mitigating the effect of by‐catch on endangered marine life

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 172-184, April 2025.
Fishing gears cause substantial impacts on the oceans and their ecosystems, and many marine animals, such as sea turtles, marine mammals, seabirds and elasmobranchs, end up as by ‐catch. In this paper, the most effective mitigation measures were investigated for each group, taking into account the fishing gear with which they interact most.

Management implications of human livelihood strategies on Madagascar's coastal landscapes

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract The unsustainable harvest and consumption of wild animals destabilizes both wildlife populations and the human livelihoods that depend upon them. In coastal landscapes, the overexploitation of terrestrial resources can increase pressures on marine ecosystems, and vice versa.

Population Study of the Hawksbill Turtle Eretmochelys imbricata (Cheloniidae) in the Southern Pacific region of Colombia

open access: yesActa Biológica Colombiana, 2014
The objective of this research was to determine biological and ecological population characteristics of the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) found in the southern Colombian Pacific department of Cauca. Morphometric measurements were recorded, the health status of individuals was reviewed, and blood samples were taken for a biochemistry ...

Climate Covariate Choice and Uncertainty in Projecting Species Range Shifts: A Case Study in the Eastern Bering Sea

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 219-239, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Species distribution models (SDMs) are critical to the adaptive management of fisheries under climate change. While many approaches projecting marine species range shifts have incorporated the effects of temperature on movement, there is a need to incorporate a wider suite of ecologically relevant predictors as temperature‐based SDMs can ...

Biology, Nesting Behavior, Genetic Diversity, and Conservation of Leatherback Sea Turtles: Insights From Thailand and Global Perspectives

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
Sea turtles, including the endangered leatherback, face threats from poaching, habitat loss, and climate change. In Thailand, conservation efforts focus on protecting nesting sites and improving hatchling survival. Leatherbacks, with low genetic diversity and high migratory patterns, require targeted measures to ensure their survival.
