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,

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 bioenergetics and trophic ecology of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea)
2021Leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, are critically endangered, long-lived migratory reptiles and are specialist predators for gelatinous prey. Their unique physiological and life history traits make quantification of their energetic requirements and understanding of their trophic ecology crucial to conservation of the species.

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.

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 ...

On the orientation circle of the leatherback turtle, Dermochelys coriacea
Animal Behaviour, 1975Abstract When moving from the nest to the sea, hatchling leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea , sometimes turn completely around and then continue forward. These orientation circles contrast with the straighter paths of green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas .

Leatherback, Dermochelys coriacea, Nesting Along the Atlantic Coast of Africa
Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2007ABSTRACT Leatherback nesting along the Atlantic coast of Africa extends from Mauritania in the north to Angola in the south, with a globally important nesting concentration located in Gabon in Central Africa. Provisional estimates of nesting numbers from Gabon indicate that this nesting population may be among the largest in the world.
