Behaviour of leatherback sea turtles,Dermochelys coriacea, during the migratory cycle [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005
Leatherback sea turtles,Dermochelys coriacea, undertake broad oceanic movements. While satellite telemetry has been used to investigate the post-nesting behaviour of female turtles tagged on tropical nesting beaches, long-term behavioural patterns of turtles of different sexes and sizes have not been described.

Sustainable Scenarios in Tourism Based on the Observation of Sea Turtles Can Be in Risk When Social Drivers Change: A Socio‐Ecological Model

open access: yesNatural Resource Modeling, Volume 38, Issue 4, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Nature tourism based on the observation of sea turtles is a socioeconomic activity that promotes the conservation of endangered species. However, tourism can affect the nesting sites, drastically affecting the ecosystem function. In this study, we propose a socio‐ecological model to describe the interplay between tourists and a turtle ...

Habitat fidelity in hawksbill sea turtles

open access: yesEcology, Volume 106, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Climate change is altering habitat suitability and driving shifts in species distributions. To understand potential responses by mobile animals, it is essential to assess levels of plasticity in habitat use, ranging from transience to long‐term fidelity.

DIE LEDERSCHILDKRÓTE DERMOCHELYS CORIACEA L. IN KOLUMBIEN

open access: yesBulletin of Marine and Coastal Research, 2016
This is the first report of the leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea, nesting on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. On a 7.5 km long beach east of Santa Marta, in 1970 7 nesting females, 4 other nests, and 7 emergences of hatchlings were observed. Some natural history notes in comparison with the nesting behaviour of the loggerhead sea turtle are ...

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...

Factors affecting sex determination in sea turtles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Kornjače spadaju u razred gmazova. Sve morske kornjače imaju muško-ženske uzorke takve da niža temperatura inkubacije proizvodi mužjake, a viša temperatura inkubacije proizvodi ženke.

Nest Microbial Community Dynamics Within the Nest‐Building Stage of Green‐Backed Tits (Parus monticolus)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
The microbiota in bird nests significantly influences avian reproduction. Using high‐throughput sequencing and microbial network analysis, we examined the microbial diversity, composition, and co‐occurrence networks in green‐backed tit (Parus monticolus) nests during pre‐ and post‐nesting stages. Post‐nesting nests showed increased beneficial microbes,
