Interaction Between Age and Individual Heterogeneity Shapes Breeding Probability in a Long-Lived Marine Ectotherm. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using a 52‐year dataset on captive green turtles, our study reveals that individual quality and age are the primary drivers of reproductive patterns. We found that high‐quality turtles bred more consistently throughout their lives and that females maintained a high reproductive value into old age despite evidence of physical aging.

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 ...

Epibiont Assemblages on Nesting Hawksbill Turtles Show Site-Specificity in the Persian Gulf

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Sea turtle epibionts can provide insights into the hosts' habitat use. However, at present, there is a lack of information on sea turtle epibiont communities in many locations worldwide. Here, we describe the epibiont communities of 46 hawksbill turtles (

Survey of Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricate) Health Condition in Terms of Parasites and Microbes in Alas Purwo National Park, Indonesia

Research Journal of Life Science, 2017
Indonesian waters have six types of turtles that can live, spawn and breed. Sea turtle conservation becomes an important and urgent program to be done in order to protect and save sea turtle population in Indonesia.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the nesting Colombian Caribbean Hawksbill Turtle

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
The hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelis imbricata (Linnaeus, 1766), is an endangered sea turtle in Colombian Caribbean beach. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of hawksbill turtle. The entire genome comprised 16,386 base pairs,

Effectiveness of Sea Turtle Conservation Management at the Turtle Conservation and Education Center of Serangan, Denpasar Bali

Journal of Marine and Coastal Science, 2021
Turtles are one of the reptile animals that can migrate long distances along the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Southeast Asia. The purpose of turtle migration is to mate, find spawning locations and to find food.

Artificial breeding of the hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, in a captive facility in the Republic of Korea [PDF]

Nature Conservation
Captive breeding has been conducted across various regions to restore globally endangered sea turtle populations. However, understanding how turtles adapt to artificial breeding environments that differ considerably from their natural habitats remains ...

Evidence for Host Selectivity and Specialization by Epizoic Chelonibia Barnacles Between Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Epibionts are organisms that utilize the exterior of other organisms as a living substratum. Many affiliate opportunistically with hosts of different species, but others specialize on particular hosts as obligate associates.

Lipid profiling suggests species specificity and minimal seasonal variation in Pacific Green and Hawksbill Turtle plasma.

PLoS ONE, 2021
In this study, we applied multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)-profiling to explore the relative ion intensity of lipid classes in plasma samples from sea turtles in order to profile lipids relevant to sea turtle physiology and investigate how dynamic ...

Genetic Divergence and Isolation of the Green Sea Turtle (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) in the Red Sea. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The green sea turtle population in the Red Sea, comprising around 5000 nesting individuals, shows genetic differentiation across five rookeries sampled on the Saudi Arabian coast. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA revealed five haplotypes grouped into two distinct haplogroups, indicating limited gene flow between rookeries and supporting the possibility of
