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
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.

Electrophoretic characterization of a hybrid between Eretmochelys imbricata and Caretta caretta (Cheloniidae) [PDF]
An intermediate morphotype between Eretmochelys imbricata and Caretta caretta was studied in Praia do Forte, Bahia, Brazil. Three enzymatic systems were successfully analyzed: SOD, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and esterase (EST).

We analysed more than 110,000 sea turtle nests from three species across Florida to track climate‐driven changes in incubation duration, a simple proxy for hatchling sex. Our results reveal widespread shortening of incubation periods and thus increasing feminisation, but also identify geographic and seasonal refuges where more males are produced.

Camera Traps: A Novel Method to Estimate Numbers of Nesting Sea Turtles
We compared sea turtle track counts from camera traps with those from simultaneous foot patrol surveys. Our findings support the use of camera traps as a complementary tool to fill data gaps at remote sites that would otherwise receive little to no assessment.
