Sea Turtle Nesting Beach Fidelity Revealed by Satellite Tracking [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study demonstrates mixed fidelity strategies within an island hawksbill population, suggesting that fidelity reflects natal philopatry and the proximity of alternative sites. Limited monitoring coverage at remote sites likely contributes to under‐detection of nestings by study‐beach unfaithful individuals. Individuals using alternative sites signal

A Guide to Nesting Sea Turtles in Florida

EDIS, 2021
Florida’s coastline provides critical habitat for sea turtle nesting, as it has for millions of years. Throughout the state, three of the seven species of sea turtles in the world have significant nesting populations.

Interspecific Gene Flow and Potential Hybrid Breakdown in South Atlantic Sea Turtles. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Interspecific hybridisation can play an important evolutionary role, generating new taxa or outbreeding depression, which can also lead to behavioural reproductive isolation through reinforcement. Still, there are few studies investigating how divergence time relates to hybridisation rates and its impact on introgression. Sea turtles are known

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.

Assessing Loggerhead Turtle Exposure to Fisheries in Northwest Africa: Predicted Risk and Management Gaps. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Biologging and Global Fishing Watch data reveal extensive spatial and vertical overlap between loggerhead turtles from the Cabo Verde population and fisheries across the Northeast Atlantic, highlighting areas of high predicted bycatch risk and gaps in current protections. ABSTRACT Bycatch is the accidental capture of non‐target animals in fishing gear,

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 ...

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.

Uncertain future for global sea turtle populations in face of sea level rise

Scientific Reports, 2023
Sea level rise has accelerated during recent decades, exceeding rates recorded during the previous two millennia, and as a result many coastal habitats and species around the globe are being impacted.

Influence of incubation temperature on morphology and locomotion performance of Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) hatchlings [PDF]

, 2010
The journey of Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761)) hatchlings from nest to the sea is a vulnerable life-history stage. Studies have shown that nest incubation temperatures influence hatchling morphology and locomotor performance, which ...

Novel Insights Into Gas Embolism in Sea Turtles: First Description in Three New Species

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The recent finding of gas embolism (GE) and decompression sickness (DCS) in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea challenged the conventional understanding of marine vertebrate diving physiology.
