Los huevos falsos (SAGs) facilitan el comportamiento social de emergencia en las crías de la tortuga laúd Dermochelys coriacea (Testudines: Dermochelyidae)

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2010
La emergencia de las crías de tortuga laúd eclosionadas en los nidos profundos desde la arena hasta la superficie de la playa ocurre sin ayuda parental y es el primer gran desafío de supervivencia en su ciclo de vida.

Estimates of Marine Mammal, Sea Turtle, and Seabird Mortality in the California Drift Gillnet Fishery for Swordfish and Thresher Shark, 1996–2002 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Estimates of incidental marine mammal, sea turtle, and seabird mortality in the California drift gillnet fishery for broadbill swordfish, Xiphias gladius, and common thresher shark, Alopias vulpinus, are summarized for the 7-year period, 1996 to 2002 ...

Fine-scale foraging ecology of leatherback turtles [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Remote tracking of migratory species and statistical modeling of behaviors have enabled identification of areas that are of high ecological value to these widely distributed taxa. However, direct observations at fine spatio-temporal scales are often needed to correctly interpret behaviors.

Pay up or die: Tradeoffs between costly telomere maintenance, somatic growth and body condition in embryonic and adult sand lizards

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3284-3298, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Current knowledge about telomere biology relies to a very high degree on results from research on endotherms. This would not be problematic if organisms shared the same mechanisms regulating telomere length (TL) but this is not necessarily the case; for example, most ...

Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa Rica

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sea turtle species, even when sharing nesting beaches, exhibit distinct at‐sea movements and foraging behavior. At Playa Cabuyal, a sea turtle nesting beach in northwest Costa Rica, we utilized satellite telemetry to reveal the post‐nesting movement of green turtles (Chelonia mydas, n = 9) alongside carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis ...

Crying a river: how much salt-laden jelly can a leatherback turtle really eat? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are capital breeders that accumulate blubber (33 kJ g−1 wet mass) by hyperphagia on a gelatinous diet at high latitudes; they breed in the tropics.

Leatherbacks Matching by Automated Image Recognition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We describe a method that performs automated recognition of individual laetherback turtles within a large nesting population. With only minimal preprocessing required of the user, we prove able to produce unsupervised matching results. The matching is based on the Scale-Invariant Feature Transform by Lowe.
