Persistent leatherback turtle migrations present opportunities for conservation. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2008
Effective transboundary conservation of highly migratory marine animals requires international management cooperation as well as clear scientific information about habitat use by these species. Populations of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in

Resource requirements of the Pacific leatherback turtle population. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Pacific population of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) has drastically declined in the last 25 years. This decline has been linked to incidental capture by fisheries, egg and meat harvesting, and recently, to climate variability and ...

Occurrence of leatherback turtles around Australia

Endangered Species Research
Leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea are a pelagic species, globally endangered due to multiple anthropogenic impacts. Although protected under Australian legislation, species-specific practical protection has been hampered by sparse information ...

Long-Term Incubation Duration Decline Indicates Climate-Change Driven Feminization of Three Sea Turtle Species in Florida, USA. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We analysed more than 110,000 sea turtle nests from three species across Florida to track climate‐driven changes in incubation duration, a simple proxy for hatchling sex. Our results reveal widespread shortening of incubation periods and thus increasing feminisation, but also identify geographic and seasonal refuges where more males are produced.

Driftnets Catch Leatherback Turtles [PDF]

Oryx, 1982
In 1979 Japanese fishing vessels began using monofilament mesh driftnets to catch squid in international waters north-west of the Hawaiian Islands, between 35° and 45° N. This new fishery threatens the survival of leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea in their North Pacific feeding grounds and migration routes. It is only recently that the existence

Anatomy of the heart of the leatherback turtle. [PDF]

J Anat, 2022
AbstractNon-crocodylian reptiles have hearts with a single ventricle, which is partially separated by a muscular ridge that provide some separation of blood flows. An exceptional situation exists in monitor lizards and pythons, where the ventricular left side generates a much higher systolic blood pressure than the right side, thus resembling mammals ...

Using fisheries observation data to develop a predictive species distribution model for endangered sea turtles

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
The Eastern Pacific leatherback turtle population (Dermochelys coriacea) has declined precipitously in recent years. One of the major causes is bycatch from coastal and pelagic fisheries.

A long-term decline in the abundance of endangered leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, at a foraging ground in the California Current Ecosystem

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Pacific leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are critically endangered, and declines have been documented at multiple nesting sites throughout the Pacific. The western Pacific leatherback forages in temperate and tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific

Genetic Diversity in Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) along the Andaman Sea of Thailand

Diversity, 2022
The leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is the largest and one of the most migratory turtle species, inhabiting oceans throughout the world. There has been a steady decline in leatherback populations over the past several decades due to human ...
