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.

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.

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 ...

A Light-Independent Magnetic Compass in the Leatherback Sea Turtle
The Biological Bulletin, 1993 Diverse animals can orient to the earth's magnetic field (1-6), but the mechanism or mechanisms undrlying magnetic field detection have not been determined. Behavioral (7-9) amd neurophysiological (10-12) results suggest that the transduction process underlying magnetic compass orientation in vertebrates is light-dependent, a finding consistent with ...

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.

Interannual Differences for Sea Turtles Bycatch in Spanish Longliners from Western Mediterranean Sea
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Recent studies showed that regional abundance of loggerhead and leatherback turtles could oscillate interannually according to oceanographic and climatic conditions. The Western Mediterranean is an important fishing area for the Spanish drifting longline

Are coastal protected areas always effective in achieving population recovery for nesting sea turtles? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sea turtles are highly migratory and usually dispersed, but aggregate off beaches during the nesting season, rendering them vulnerable to coastal threats.
