Genetic Divergence and Isolation of the Green Sea Turtle (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) in the Red Sea. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe green sea turtle population in the Red Sea, comprising around 5000 nesting individuals, shows genetic differentiation across five rookeries sampled on the Saudi Arabian coast. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA revealed five haplotypes grouped into two distinct haplogroups, indicating limited gene flow between rookeries and supporting the possibility of

One number to rule them all: The Wildlife Sperm Index for standardized gamete assessment
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract In wildlife conservation, breeding programmes focused on reintroduction are critical to recovering endangered species. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and biobanking play pivotal roles in these efforts but depend on high‐quality gametes.

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 ...

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...
