High‐resolution diving data collected from foraging area reveal that leatherback turtles dive faster to forage longer

Ecosphere, 2023
Despite multiple studies examining the diving behavior of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) at coarse resolution over broad distances, there is still a paucity of high‐resolution diving data collected in areas where foraging has been ...

Trophic Ecology of Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta) in Southern Brazil: Insights From Stable Isotopes

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the trophic ecology of loggerhead turtles recorded stranded along the Paraná coast in southern Brazil. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes were analysed in muscle tissues from 20 loggerhead turtles and in 69 specimens representing 12 prey species (molluscs, crustaceans and teleost fishes).

Fatal Photobacterium damselae-induced enteritis in a leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2019
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.

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Satellite-tracked movements of female Dermochelys coriacea from southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2011
Four female leatherback sea turtles Dermochelys coriacea were satellite tracked from the southeastern coast of Brazil (3 from nesting beaches in the state of Espirito Santo, and 1 recovered from a driftnet off the coast of the state of Sao Paulo), representing the first study of movements of leatherbacks nesting on Brazilian grounds.
