Vegetation cover predicts temperature in nests of the hawksbill sea turtle: implications for beach management and offspring sex ratios

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2013
Whether a sea turtle embryo develops into a male or a female depends, as with many other reptiles, on the temperature during incubation of the eggs. With sea turtles, warm temperatures produce 100% females and, thus, increasing global temperatures have ...

Evidence of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) depredation on fish caught in gillnets

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Bycatch is a major global threat to marine megafauna and occurs in nearly all fishing fleets, including small-scale fisheries that use gillnets. Gillnets represent a threat to endangered air-breathing megafauna, who incidentally entangle in bottom-set ...

Detection of trade in products derived from threatened species using machine learning and a smartphone application

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Illegal and unsustainable wildlife trade remains a major conservation challenge and is increasingly shifting to online marketplaces where monitoring is difficult. To address this gap, we used real‐world images from online platforms, enforcement seizures, and market inspections to develop a deep‐learning object detection framework to identify ...

An update on hatchery success of olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at Playa San Miguel, Costa Rica

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This study aims to elucidate and update the impacts of nest temperatures and rainfall on the San Miguel olive ridley hatchery success from 2019 to 2022 sea turtle seasons. Nest sand temperatures significantly affect nest failures (Estimate = 0.123 ± 0.059 SE, z = 2.088, p = .037) while nesting seasons also significantly affect nest failures with lower ...

A Preliminary Report of Plastic Ingestion by Hawksbill and Green Turtles in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
(1) Background: Plastic pollution is a major environmental concern confronting marine animals. Sea turtles are considered a bio-indicator of plastic pollution, but there is little information regarding plastic ingestion by turtles in the Red Sea. With large-scale development projects being built along the Saudi Arabian coast, it is important to have a ...
