Hawksbill Sea Turtles in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2012Abstract This study reports observations of Hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, a remote and protected expanse of coral atolls considered outside the species range. Since no direct monitoring efforts exist, we synthesized records from historical accounts, opportunistic sightings, and internet ...

Deforestation: Risk Of Sex Ratio Distortion In Hawksbill Sea Turtles
Ecological Applications, 2006Phenotypic sex in sea turtles is determined by nest incubation temperatures, with warmer temperatures producing females and cooler temperatures producing males. The common finding of highly skewed female-biased hatchling sex ratios in sea turtle populations could have serious repercussions for the long-term survival of these species and prompted us to ...

Diverse migratory strategies for a hawksbill sea turtle population
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater EcosystemsAbstract Outside of short, infrequent visits to reproductive habitats, sea turtle lifespans are largely spent in foraging areas. Supporting imperilled populations in an era of biodiversity declines and environmental change requires improvements in the understanding of foraging distributions, plus the migratory corridors that connect foraging and ...

The Carapacial Scutes of hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata)
2007The primary objective of the research reported here was to decipher information on the relationship between size and age from the keratin plates of the carapace of hawksbill turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata. This required a detailed description of the development and differentiation of the keratin plates, and the formulation of a morphological model ...

Exploiting Green and Hawksbill Turtles in Western Australia: The Commercial Marine Turtle Fishery
2014Many attempts were made to exploit both the green and hawksbill turtle commercially from the mid-1800s. The first commercial export of hawksbill tortoiseshell appeared in the Western Australian trade tables in 1869 and the green turtle fishing industry operated intermittently between 1870 and 1961 prior to the industry becoming successfully established
