Buried treasure—marine turtles do not ‘disguise’ or ‘camouflage’ their nests but avoid them and create a decoy trail [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
After laying their eggs and refilling the egg chamber, sea turtles scatter sand extensively around the nest site. This is presumed to camouflage the nest, or optimize local conditions for egg development, but a consensus on its function is lacking.

Development of the nasal capsule in Emydura subglobosa (Testudines: Pleurodira) with a comparison to other turtles

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

An update on hatchery success of olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at Playa San Miguel, Costa Rica

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study aims to elucidate and update the impacts of nest temperatures and rainfall on the San Miguel olive ridley hatchery success from 2019 to 2022 sea turtle seasons. Nest sand temperatures significantly affect nest failures (Estimate = 0.123 ± 0.059 SE, z = 2.088, p = .037) while nesting seasons also significantly affect nest failures with lower ...
