Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Community understanding and recommendations for sea turtle conservation amidst life-threatening risks on Buru Island [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Buru Island’s rich coastal ecosystems serve as critical habitats for endangered sea turtles, such as the leatherback, green turtle, hawksbill, and olive ridley, which frequently nest and forage along its coasts.

Sea Turtle Epibiosis: Global Patterns and Knowledge Gaps

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Competition for space drives many marine propagules to colonize the external surfaces of other marine organisms, a phenomenon known as epibiosis. Epibiosis appears to be a universal phenomenon among sea turtles and an extensive body of scientific ...

On the landing of an olive ridley turtle at Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu and updated record of incidental catches of sea turtles in India [PDF]

, 1998
Five species of the sea turtles, Lepidochelys olivacea (Olive ridley turtle), Chelonia mydas (Green turtle) Eretemochelys tmbricata (Hawksbill turtle), Caretta caretta (Loggerhead turtle) and Dermochelys coriacea (Leatherback turtle) are foimd along ...

Vulnerability of Key Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches to Future Erosion and Sea Level Rise

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Threatened sea turtles rely on sandy beaches for nesting, linking their long‐term survival to global beach availability. However, beaches worldwide are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic stressors and sea level rise (SLR). Reliable vulnerability assessments require understanding beach dynamics across multiple time scales, informed by ...

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...

Trophic Ecology of Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta) in Southern Brazil: Insights From Stable Isotopes

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the trophic ecology of loggerhead turtles recorded stranded along the Paraná coast in southern Brazil. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes were analysed in muscle tissues from 20 loggerhead turtles and in 69 specimens representing 12 prey species (molluscs, crustaceans and teleost fishes).

Body Temperature of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle Caretta Caretta and the Leatherback Sea Turtle Dermochelys Coriacea During Nesting [PDF]

Zoologica Africana, 1978
Body temperatures of loggerhead and leatherback turtles recorded during nesting excursions were found to be greater than sea temperatures. Leatherback turtles exhibited greater temperature differentials (5,3 - 6,25°C) than loggerhead turtles (1,9 - 3,22°C).The possibility that leatherback turtles may have a preferred temperature range (30 - 32°C) as is

Perivitelline Membrane‐Bound Sperm as a Source of Paternal Genomic DNA to Inform Breeding Male Marine Turtle Genetics and Demographics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Breeding male marine turtles are poorly characterized due to their inaccessibility. Here, we demonstrate that genotyping sperm trapped in the perivitelline membrane of a single egg permits assessment of multiple paternity and direct paternal genotyping in singly sired clutches.

The Status of Loggerhead, Caretta caretta; Kemp's Ridley, Lepidochelys kempi; and Green, Chelonia mydas, Sea Turtles in U.S. Waters: A Reconsideration [PDF]

, 1991
Assessing the status of widely distributed marine species can prove difficult because virtually every sampling technique has assumptions, limitations, and biases that affect the results of the study.
