Hearing in the Juvenile Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas): A Comparison of Underwater and Aerial Hearing Using Auditory Evoked Potentials. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Sea turtles spend much of their life in aquatic environments, but critical portions of their life cycle, such as nesting and hatching, occur in terrestrial environments, suggesting that it may be important for them to detect sounds in both air and water.

Soft-robotic green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) developed to replace animal experimentation provides new insight into their propulsive strategies [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) can swim up to 50 km per day while only consuming seagrass or microalgae. How the animal accomplishes this vast journey on such low energy intake points to the effectiveness of their swimming technique and is a ...

They're Out There, You Know: Sea Turtle Sightings and Strandings in Canadian Pacific Waters [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Pacific sea turtle populations primarily inhabit subtropical and tropical waters, making sightings at the edge of their range in colder high‐latitude regions of the Canadian Pacific particularly uncommon and even rare. This paper presents a comprehensive

Future sea-level rise impacts to Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) and Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) nesting habitat on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

Climate Change Ecology
Global sea turtle populations are in decline and so a global network of sea turtle nesting conservation programs have been established worldwide with the goal to protect vulnerable nesting mothers, and their clutches of eggs.

Development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for determining FSH plasma concentrations in green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), using recombinant gonadotropins

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in the regulation of essential reproductive processes such as gametogenesis and follicular growth. There are presently no immunoassays for measuring FSH in turtles.
