Abstract Many sea turtle populations face severe declines in the Asia‐Pacific region and, although threats are widely recognised, drivers are practically unknown, especially in Indonesia. We surveyed 140 respondents at three sites in Sumatra, Indonesia (Padang, Mentawai, Nias) to identify how sociodemographic and cultural characteristics across these ...

Fatal Photobacterium damselae-induced enteritis in a leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea
Stranded leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea complete pathology reports are rare, and the cause of mortality is difficult to determine in many cases. We conducted a complete pathological study of a stranded leatherback turtle from the western Mediterranean.

This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other central‐place and migratory species, supporting transboundary biodiversity assessments and international conservation policy. We discuss common limitations and

Distribution Models Reveal Important Coastal Habitats for Endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles
ABSTRACT Aim With the development and operation of offshore wind farms along the United States East Coast, it is imperative that we understand the distributions of vulnerable species so we can track and predict potential interactions. We focused on leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) as they depend on this region for important stages of ...

Predicting the effects of climate change on sea turtle nesting habitat in Florida [PDF]
Rising global temperatures threaten the survival of many plant and animal species. Having already risen at an unprecedented rate in the past century, temperatures are predicted to rise between 0.3 and 7.5C in North America over the next 100 years ...
