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 ...

Green Sea Turtle Recruitment in the Eastern North Pacific: Patterns Identified Using Geochemical Signatures in Bones

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We present vital life‐history and demographic data including the oceanic stage duration, timing of ontogenetic habitat shifts, and multi‐year foraging patterns of eastern North Pacific green sea turtles found in Southern California. The findings were obtained by analyzing sea turtle bones (age and growth via skeletochronology; and habitat and diet via ...

Exploring sociodemographic and cultural characteristics of sea turtle take and use to support effective conservation strategies in Indonesia

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 51-64, January 2026.
Abstract Many sea turtle populations face severe declines in the Asia‐Pacific region and, although threats are widely recognised, drivers are practically unknown, especially in Indonesia. We surveyed 140 respondents at three sites in Sumatra, Indonesia (Padang, Mentawai, Nias) to identify how sociodemographic and cultural characteristics across these ...

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 ...

Interaction Between Age and Individual Heterogeneity Shapes Breeding Probability in a Long‐Lived Marine Ectotherm

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Using 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.

Vegetation cover predicts temperature in nests of the hawksbill sea turtle: implications for beach management and offspring sex ratios

Endangered Species Research, 2013
Whether a sea turtle embryo develops into a male or a female depends, as with many other reptiles, on the temperature during incubation of the eggs. With sea turtles, warm temperatures produce 100% females and, thus, increasing global temperatures have ...

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 ...

Contextualising the Last Survivors: Population Structure of Marine Turtles in the Dominican Republic.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Nesting by three species of marine turtles persists in the Dominican Republic, despite historic threats and long-term population decline. We conducted a genetic survey of marine turtles in the Dominican Republic in order to link them with other rookeries

Distribution and growth rates of immature hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata in Fernando de Noronha, Brazil

Endangered Species Research, 2019
Knowledge of life history parameters is essential for the effective management of species of conservation concern. For migratory marine vertebrates such as hawksbill sea turtles Eretmochelys imbricata, feeding aggregations are important developmental ...

Identification of Important Sea Turtle Areas (ITAs) for hawksbill turtles in the Arabian Region

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2014
AbstractWe present the first data on hawksbill turtle post-nesting migrations and behaviour in the Arabian region. Tracks from 90 post-nesting turtles (65 in the Gulf and 25 from Oman) revealed that hawksbills in the Arabian region may nest up to 6 times in a season with an average of 3 nests per turtle.
