Green Turtle Feeding on Terrestrial Leaves Reveals Energy Pathway From Land to Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We report on an adult male green turtle (Chelonia mydas) feeding on fallen leaves from a terrestrial tree, frangipani (Plumeria rubra), in the waters of Cabuyal in northern Costa Rica. This observation suggests that male turtles may feed during reproductive periods and illustrates a novel pathway for the transfer of energy from land to sea.

Migration and Skewed Subnational Sex Ratios among Young Adults

Population and Development Review, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 681-706, September 2023., 2023

I document the extent to which international and internal migration shape national and subnational sex ratios among young adults (SRYA).
