Morphological characterization of the digestive tube of hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) hatchlings

Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2022
Abstract Morphological studies concerning the digestive system can further information on animal diets, thus aiding in the understanding of feeding behavior. Given the scarcity of information on sea turtle digestive system morphology, the aim of the present study was to describe the digestive tube (DT) morphology of Eretmochelys ...

Illegal Wildlife Trade in a Tourism and Biodiversity Hotspot

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 9106-9122, December 2025.
ABSTRACT There are clear connections between tourism, development, and sustainable use—particularly in biodiversity hotspots, where tourists may unknowingly purchase souvenirs made from protected wildlife. This issue is explicitly recognized in the Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG15, Life on Land, and SDG16, Peace, Justice, and Strong ...

Overview of the population genetics and connectivity of sea turtles in the East Asia Region and their conservation implications

Frontiers in Marine Science
Understanding the current status and recent development of the population genetics and connectivity of sea turtles is crucial for effective conservation management of the species. Five sea turtle species, green turtle (Chelonia mydas), loggerhead turtle (

Genetic structure and natal origins of immature hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in Brazilian waters. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Understanding the connections between sea turtle populations is fundamental for their effective conservation. Brazil hosts important hawksbill feeding areas, but few studies have focused on how they connect with nesting populations in the Atlantic. Here,

Moon Phases Influence Posthatch Resting Behavior in Loggerhead Sea Turtle Hatchlings

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sea turtles face numerous threats during their lifetimes, particularly at nesting sites, where egg development and hatchling emergence are critical periods for conservation. This study investigates the influence of moon phases on loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) hatchling behavior, specifically examining the patterns of emergence and ...

Acoustic tag retention rate varies between juvenile green and hawksbill sea turtles [PDF]

Animal Biotelemetry, 2019
Abstract Background Biotelemetry has become a key tool for studying marine animals in the last decade, and a wide range of electronic tags are now available for answering a range of research questions. However, comparatively, less attention has been given to attachment methods for these tags and the implications of tag retention on study design ...

Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa Rica

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sea turtle species, even when sharing nesting beaches, exhibit distinct at‐sea movements and foraging behavior. At Playa Cabuyal, a sea turtle nesting beach in northwest Costa Rica, we utilized satellite telemetry to reveal the post‐nesting movement of green turtles (Chelonia mydas, n = 9) alongside carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis ...
