Maternal health status correlates with nest success of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) from Florida. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Of the seven sea turtle species, the critically endangered leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) exhibits the lowest and most variable nest success (i.e., hatching success and emergence success) for reasons that remain largely unknown.

Current transport of leatherback sea turtles ( Dermochelys coriacea ) in the ocean [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003
While the long-distance movements of pelagic vertebrates are becoming known thanks to satellite telemetry, the factors determining their courses have hardly been investigated. We have analysed the effects of oceanographic factors on the post-nesting movements of three satellite-tracked leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) moving in the southwest ...

Diel foraging behavior of gravid leatherback sea turtles in deep waters of the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010
SUMMARY It is generally assumed that leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), like other species of sea turtle, do not feed while offshore from nesting beaches, and rely instead on fat reserves to fuel reproductive activities. Recent studies, however, provide evidence that leatherbacks may forage during the internesting interval while

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

An ancestral hard-shelled sea turtle with a mosaic of soft skin and scutes

Scientific Reports, 2022
The transition from terrestrial to marine environments by secondarily aquatic tetrapods necessitates a suite of adaptive changes associated with life in the sea, e.g., the scaleless skin in adult individuals of the extant leatherback turtle.
