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 ...

Using accelerometers for tracking loggerhead and green sea turtle behaviour. [PDF]
Anim BiotelemetryAbstract Background Understanding animal behaviour is critical for the design of effective conservation and management strategies. Animal-borne tri-axial accelerometers constitute a type of biologging device which have the potential to provide continuous high-resolution behavioural data.
