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 ...

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)

Responses of three nesting sea turtle species to hard-armoring structures
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 In the face of modern challenges, analyzing sea turtle nesting trends is critical to better understand impacts to these vulnerable species. The introduction of hard-armoring structures (e.g., seawalls, rock revetments) on sea turtle nesting beaches poses

Stable isotopes in barnacles as a tool to understand green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) regional movement patterns [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Sea turtles are migratory animals that travel long distances between their feeding and breeding grounds. Traditional methods for researching sea turtle migratory behavior have important disadvantages, and the development of alternatives would enhance our

Testing sea urchin and green sea turtle consumption of the allelopathic macroalga Galaxaura divaricata. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstractGalaxaura divaricata is a partially calcified macroalga that hampers coral recruitment, growth, and recovery via the excretion of allelopathic secondary metabolites. Herbivorous fishes are not major consumers of Galaxaura spp. and there is a need to understand feeding preferences for Galaxaura divaricata in other macroherbivores, like sea ...
