Semantics and the Leathery Turtle, Dermochelys coriacea
Journal of Herpetology, 1987Ever since Blainville (1816) used the generic term "Dermochelys" for the leathery turtle, several basic morphological facets of this animal have been obscured by redundant, exaggerated, or inaccurate descriptions. This results in unnecessary confusion and misunderstandings about ontogenetic and evolutionary features in Dermochelys coriacea.

Further Observations on Breeding of Dermochelys coriacea in Australia
Wildlife Research, 1984In Australia, breeding of the cosmopolitan leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, is concentrated on 22.3 km of beach near Wreck Rock (24°19'S., 151°58'E.) in south-east Queensland. Up to three females nest there in most years. The mean size of 14 clutches was 82.79; the mean hatching success was 15.3% for clutches on the beach and 51.8% for these ...

Oxygen Transport in the Leatherback Sea Turtle Dermochelys coriacea
Physiological Zoology, 1990We have investigated aerobic metabolism and blood O₂ transport properties of the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). During nesting, at a body temperature of 29° C, resting ventilation (9.2 ± 1. 7 mL min⁻¹ kg⁻¹) and O₂ consumption (0. 25 ± 0.04 mL min⁻¹ kg⁻¹; three turtles) were slightly below values given for other sea turtles. Tidal volume

Karyotype of the sea-turtle Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761)
Amphibia-Reptilia, 1987Abstract Chromosomes of Dermochelys coriacea were prepared from kidney, spleen and lung cells of three neonates hatched from eggs incubated at 26.5 ± 0.5° C (a temperature yielding 100% phenotypic males). A study of the karyotype shows a diploid number of 56 chromosomes consisting of 14 meta- and submetacentrics, 10 telo- and subtelocentrics,

Body Temperature ofDermochelys coriacea: Warm Turtle from Cold Water
Science, 1972The deep body temperature of a leatherback turtle,Dermochelys coriacea, taken out of cold water, was 18°C above the water temperature. A large size favoring heat retention from muscular activity is probably responsible for this differential. Cooling rates (k) in water, measured on a second animal, were in the order of 0.001°C per minute per degree of ...

Core and body surface temperatures of nesting leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea)
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2015Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are the largest species of marine turtle and the fourth most massive extant reptile. In temperate waters they maintain body temperatures higher than surrounding seawater through a combination of insulation, physiological, and behavioural adaptations.

The leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, exhibits both polyandry and polygyny
Molecular Ecology, 2002AbstractThe leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is an endangered species, and world‐wide populations are declining. To understand better the mating structure of this pelagic and fragile species, we investigated paternity in nearly 1000 hatchlings from Playa Grande in Parque Marino Nacional Las Baulas, Costa Rica.
