Epibiotic bacteria on the carapace of hawksbill and green sea turtles
Biofouling, 2023 In this study, epibiotic bacteria on the carapace of sea turtles at three different sites in the Persian Gulf were studied. Bacterial density counted using a Scanning Electron Microscope showed that the highest (9.4 × 106 ± 0.8 × 106 cm−2) and lowest (5.3 × 106 ± 0.4 × 106 cm−2) average bacterial densities were found on the green and hawksbill sea ...

Animals, 2023 As conservation efforts regarding green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas, continue, it is imperative to document behaviors and foraging habits/habitats of understudied populations. We have conducted an 18-month study dedicated to photographing the local population feeding alongside floating docks within the Guana Tolomato Matanzas estuary to determine the ...

Hematologic and biochemical characteristics of stranded green sea turtles [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2018 To improve understanding of pathophysiologic processes occurring in green sea turtles ( Chelonia mydas) stranded along the east coast of Australia, we retrospectively examined the hematologic and biochemical blood parameters of 127 green turtles admitted to 2 rehabilitation facilities, Dolphin Marine Magic (DMM) and Taronga Zoo (TZ)

An odyssey of the green sea turtle: Ascension Island revisited [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1989 Green turtles ( Chelonia mydas ) that nest on Ascension Island, in the south-central Atlantic, utilize feeding grounds along the coast of Brazil, more than 2000 km away. To account for the origins of this remarkable migratory behavior, Carr and Coleman [Carr, A. & Coleman, P. J. (1974) Nature (London)
