Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Vulnerability of Key Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches to Future Erosion and Sea Level Rise

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Threatened sea turtles rely on sandy beaches for nesting, linking their long‐term survival to global beach availability. However, beaches worldwide are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic stressors and sea level rise (SLR). Reliable vulnerability assessments require understanding beach dynamics across multiple time scales, informed by ...

Northeast Brazil shows highest hawksbill turtle nesting density in the South Atlantic

Endangered Species Research, 2013
To date, hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata nesting in Brazil has been estimated by recording clutch numbers. To better address conservation assessments and more reliably estimate the number of females, the Projeto TAMAR-ICMBio initiated a mark and ...

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

Frontiers 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 ...
