Mitochondrial DNA Profiling to Combat the Illegal Trade in Tortoiseshell Products
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) are exploited for their beautiful shell known as tortoiseshell or bekko, making them extremely vulnerable in the illegal global trade of tortoiseshell products.

Hawksbill and green turtle niche overlap in a marine protected area, US Virgin Islands
Endangered Species Research, 2023 Studying how species interact with their environment and other co-occurring species are 2 main aspects of ecology. For marine turtles, ocean currents drive migratory routes and may determine the location of surrounding foraging grounds.

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2018 Ozobranchus spp. are leeches that feed solely on turtle blood. They are common ectoparasites found on a range of marine turtle species, with some species of the leech being implicated as vectors of fibropapilloma-associated turtle herpesvirus (FPTHV ...

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

Saving the Hawksbill Turtle [PDF]
Oryx, 1973 The successful breeding of hawksbill turtles on experimental farms on islands in the Torres Strait, north of Australia, has persuaded the islanders to leave the turtle eggs (formerly taken for food) for the farms. The author argues the case for using eggs from the wild in these particular areas, and also urges the importance of allowing a turtle ...

Migratory patterns in hawksbill turtles described by satellite tracking [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2012 The advent of telemetry has improved knowledge of the spatio-temporal distribution of marine species of conservation concern. Among the sea turtles, the movements of the hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata are among the least well described. We tracked 10 adult female hawksbill turtles by satellite after nesting in the Dominican Republic (DR) and ...

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 (
