Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Vulnerability of Key Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches to Future Erosion and Sea Level Rise

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Threatened sea turtles rely on sandy beaches for nesting, linking their long‐term survival to global beach availability. However, beaches worldwide are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic stressors and sea level rise (SLR). Reliable vulnerability assessments require understanding beach dynamics across multiple time scales, informed by ...

Effect of moisture, temperature and maternal influence on the hatching, phenotype, and performance of hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata

Endangered Species Research, 2023
: Hawksbill turtles are considered Critically Endangered. An understanding of how nest microenvironment (moisture and temperature) and maternal characteristics can influence embryonic development, hatching success, phenotype, and hatchling performance is

The Forgotten International Trade of Sawfish Rostral Teeth in Latin America

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT All sawfish species are critically endangered with overfishing and retention of highly valued fins, meat, rostra, and rostral teeth as the main threats. The illegal international trade in rostral teeth for use as cockfighting spurs remains poorly known and continues in South America, despite prohibitions of animal origin spurs by most ...

Hatching Success of Olive Ridley Sea Turtles in Semi‐Natural Nests: A Pilot Assessment of Microclimate Conditions at Batu Hiu Beach

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Our study investigates the environmental and astronomical drivers of olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) hatching success at Batu Hiu Beach, Indonesia. We demonstrate that air temperature is the dominant predictor of hatching outcomes, while Earth–Moon distance exerts an additional, significant influence independent of humidity and tidal effects ...
