Sea Turtle Squeeze: A Spatial Assessment of Hawksbill Sea Turtle Nesting Habitat and Future Sea Level Rise in the Caribbean [PDF]
, 2009 The goal of this project is to conduct a preliminary assessment of the effects of climate change on hawksbill sea turtles. It also explores ways that adaptive management can mitigate negative impacts on turtles in Anguilla and the Caribbean region. The main objectives include (1) to complie a literature review of relebant information concerning sea ...

Newly described nesting sites of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the central Red Sea. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 BackgroundThere is relatively little published information about sea turtle nesting distribution and seasonality in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea. Upcoming large-scale developments occurring along the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast could negatively affect many sea turtle nesting beaches with potential impacts on the survival of local populations.MethodsIn ...

From Passive Drift to Olfactory Detection? A Late-Stage Oceanic Juvenile Hawksbill's 9000-km Journey Across the Western Indian Ocean. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA juvenile hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata, CCL = 38 cm) was tracked for 201 days across 9129 km from the Mozambique Channel to Huvadhu Atoll, Maldives, with ocean current reanalysis showing that 74% of this distance resulted from passive drift by regional surface currents.

First Record of Triplet Embryos in Sea Turtles: Evidence of Natural Polyembryony in a Wild Green Turtle (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) Nest From Guanahacabibes, Cuba. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA rare case of polyembryonic triplets in a wild green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nest demonstrates how multiple embryos can develop within a single egg under natural conditions. Morphological and embryological evidence, including independent yolk vasculature and marked asymmetry among embryos, support a monozygotic origin and highlight developmental ...

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 ...

Interspecific Gene Flow and Potential Hybrid Breakdown in South Atlantic Sea Turtles. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Interspecific hybridisation can play an important evolutionary role, generating new taxa or outbreeding depression, which can also lead to behavioural reproductive isolation through reinforcement. Still, there are few studies investigating how divergence time relates to hybridisation rates and its impact on introgression. Sea turtles are known

The developmental biogeography of hawksbill sea turtles in the North Pacific [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2016 AbstractHigh seas oceanic ecosystems are considered important habitat for juvenile sea turtles, yet much remains cryptic about this important life‐history period. Recent progress on climate and fishery impacts in these so‐called lost years is promising, but the developmental biogeography of hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) has not been ...
