Heart rates and diving behavior of leatherback sea turtles in the eastern pacific ocean
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1999ABSTRACT Heart rates and diving behavior of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) were monitored at sea during the internesting interval. Instruments that recorded the electrocardiogram and the depth and duration of dives were deployed on six female leatherback turtles as they laid eggs at Playa Grande, Costa Rica. Turtles dived

COCCIDIAL INFECTION OF THE ADRENAL GLANDS OF LEATHERBACK SEA TURTLES (DERMOCHELYS CORIACEA)
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2016Histologic lesions incidental to the cause of death were observed in the adrenal glands of 17 subadult and adult leatherback sea turtles ( Dermochelys coriacea ) found dead or moribund on or near shore in North America. Round bodies, 250-300 μm in diameter composed of an outer capsule and large multinucleated cells surrounding a central mass of ...

Canadian waters provide critical foraging habitat for leatherback sea turtles
Biological Conservation, 2006From 1998–2005, we collected 851 geo-referenced records of leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, from a volunteer network of commercial fishers and tour boat operators in Atlantic Canada. These data provide new insight into the spatial and temporal distribution of leatherbacks in temperate northwest Atlantic waters. Patterns in sightings data were

Heart rates and dive behaviour of the leatherback sea turtle
2009Diving bradycardia, or a decrease in heart rate while diving, has been observed in a wide variety of species, from frogs to seals. The degree to which an animal lowers its heart rate during a submergence may vary depending on the behaviour of the animal. The leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriaced) is an active diver, and has a metabolic rate that

The potential future influence of sea level rise on leatherback turtle nests
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2014Abstract Climate change models predict sea level rise and increased intensity of storms and hurricanes in tropical sea turtle nesting areas. These factors could significantly increase beach inundation and erosion, thus affecting water content of sea turtle nesting beaches.

Parasites in Italian sea turtles. I. The leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea (Linnaeus, 1766).
Parassitologia, 1997Three species of trematodes (Digenea) were collected from a leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) stranded on the coast of Lampedusa (Sicily Channel, Mediterranean Sea, Italy). One, Enodiotrema carettae, was found in the liver and two, Enodiotrema instar and Pyelosomum renicapite, in the intestine. E. carettae and E. instar are new host findings, E.
