Evidence of opposing fitness effects of parental heterozygosity and relatedness in a critically endangered marine turtle? [PDF]

, 2017
How individual genetic variability relates to fitness is important in understanding evolution and the processes affecting populations of conservation concern.

Hexavalent chromium is cytotoxic and genotoxic to hawksbill sea turtle cells [PDF]

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2014
Sea turtles are a charismatic and ancient ocean species and can serve as key indicators for ocean ecosystems, including coral reefs and sea grass beds as well as coastal beaches. Genotoxicity studies in the species are absent, limiting our understanding of the impact of environmental toxicants on sea turtles.

Artificial Intelligence's Potential in Zoo Animal Welfare

Zoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 403-411, September/October 2025.
Heat map visualization of enclosure space use by meerkats, generated by the artificial intelligence model described in the case study. ABSTRACT The thorough, objective, and regular assessment of animal welfare in zoos and aquariums is rapidly becoming an essential task for these institutions.

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 ...

Large marine protected areas can encompass movements of diverse megafauna

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2454-2463, September 2025.
Our results provide clear evidence for the value of the large scale of the Chagos Archipelago very large marine protected area (VLMPA) for protection of taxonomically diverse mobile megafauna. Further, we highlight the value of the VLMPA approach as a strategy towards achieving 30% ocean protection by 2030.

Hybridization among the ancient mariners: characterization of marine turtle hybrids with molecular genetic assays. [PDF]

, 1995
Reports of hybridization between marine turtle species (family Cheloniidae) have been difficult to authenticate based solely on morphological evidence.

Separating biological signal from methodological noise in home range estimates

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2131-2144, September 2025.
Abstract Space use is commonly estimated in animal ecology and has become a cornerstone of evidence‐based conservation planning, with animal tracking increasingly used to underpin the designation of protected areas with high conservation value. However, tracking technologies and analytical methods may introduce biases in home range size estimates.

Genetic Divergence and Isolation of the Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the Red Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The 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

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 ...
