Contextualising the Last Survivors: Population Structure of Marine Turtles in the Dominican Republic. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Nesting by three species of marine turtles persists in the Dominican Republic, despite historic threats and long-term population decline. We conducted a genetic survey of marine turtles in the Dominican Republic in order to link them with other rookeries

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.

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 ...

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.

Recent observations of Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761), in the waters of Pacific Panama [PDF]

Neotropical Biology and Conservation, 2022
The situation of the Eastern Tropical Pacific subpopulation of the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is critical due to the drastic declines of nesting females.

Migration cues and timing in leatherback sea turtles [PDF]

Behavioral Ecology, 2007
Atlantic leatherback sea turtles migrate annually from foraging grounds off eastern Canada and the northeastern United States to southern foraging and breeding areas. Using Cox’s proportional hazards model, we investigated the individual timing of the southward migrations of 27 turtles equipped with satellite-linked transmitters off Nova Scotia ...

Missing Data in Sea Turtle Population Monitoring: A Bayesian Statistical Framework Accounting for Incomplete Sampling

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Monitoring how populations respond to sustained conservation measures is essential to detect changes in their population status and determine the effectiveness of any interventions.

Interaction Between Age and Individual Heterogeneity Shapes Breeding Probability in a Long-Lived Marine Ectotherm. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using a 52‐year dataset on captive green turtles, our study reveals that individual quality and age are the primary drivers of reproductive patterns. We found that high‐quality turtles bred more consistently throughout their lives and that females maintained a high reproductive value into old age despite evidence of physical aging.

Evaluating potential tagging effects on leatherback sea turtles [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2008
Although the use of satellite tracking to study the leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea continues to increase, there has been little inquiry into the effects of this research. We inves- tigated effects of handling and tagging on leatherbacks using state-space estimated positions from 42 turtles satellite-tagged at sea.

Increased captures of the critically endangered leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) around New Zealand: the contribution of warming seas and fisher behavior

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Five species of sea turtles are known to occur in New Zealand waters, with the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) being the most frequently reported.
