The dark side of light. Light pollution kills leatherback turtle hatchlings [PDF]

BioDiscovery, 2012
The leatherback turtle is the largest and most migratory of all sea turtles and deepest diving air-breathing animal. It has unique physiology which allows it to adapt to various habitats ranging from sub-polar to equatorial during its migrations.

Rapid Assessments of Leatherback Small-Scale Fishery Bycatch in Internesting Areas in the Eastern Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The East Pacific (EP) leatherback population is listed by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as Critically Endangered. Despite conservation efforts, mainly focused on nesting beaches, its population has declined by over 90% since the 1980s.

Multispecies leatherback turtle assemblage from the Oligocene Chandler Bridge and Ashley formations of South Carolina, USA [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020
Paleogene dermochelyid species richness far exceeded that of today. Leatherback sea turtles were most species rich in the Paleogene, but their richness declined sharply during the Neogene with only one species existing today, Dermochelys coriacea.

Baseline Skin Microbiota of the Leatherback Sea Turtle. [PDF]

Microorganisms
The integumentary system of the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is the most visible and defining difference of the species, with its smooth and waxy carapace and finely scaled skin, distinguishing it from the other six sea turtle species. The skin is the body’s largest organ and serves as a primary defense against the outside world and is

Comparing Dynamic and Static Time-Area Closures for Bycatch Mitigation: A Management Strategy Evaluation of a Swordfish Fishery

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Time-area closures are a valuable tool for mitigating fisheries bycatch. There is increasing recognition that dynamic closures, which have boundaries that vary across space and time, can be more effective than static closures at protecting mobile species
