Is Telomere Length Optimized in Hatchling Sand Lizards?

Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 4, December 2025.
The graphical abstract image depicts the complex interplay of factors driving telomere dynamics (with permission from Dr. Chris Friesen). ABSTRACT Telomeres (repeat‐DNA‐protein structures primarily located at the ends of chromosomes) protect coding DNA against attacks by reactive molecules and the cells’ own DNA repair systems.

Evaluating outcomes of long-term satellite tag attachment on leatherback sea turtles [PDF]

Animal Biotelemetry, 2018
Abstract Attachment methods for satellite tags deployed on marine animals must optimize data collection and minimize potential adverse effects on the study subjects. The smooth, oily carapace of the leatherback turtle contrasts with the keratinized scutes of other sea turtles and has required the development of novel approaches to tag attachment. Early

Hydrodynamic role of longitudinal dorsal ridges in a leatherback turtle swimming [PDF]

, 2016
Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are known to have a superior diving ability and be highly adapted to pelagic swimming. They have five longitudinal ridges on their carapace.

Overview of the population genetics and connectivity of sea turtles in the East Asia Region and their conservation implications

Frontiers in Marine Science
Understanding the current status and recent development of the population genetics and connectivity of sea turtles is crucial for effective conservation management of the species. Five sea turtle species, green turtle (Chelonia mydas), loggerhead turtle (

Sea turtle nesting in the Ten Thousand Islands of Florida [PDF]

, 1997
Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) nest in numerous substrate and beach types within the Ten Thousand Islands (TTl) of southwest Florida. Nesting beach selection was analyzed on 12 islands within this archipelago.

Pay up or die: Tradeoffs between costly telomere maintenance, somatic growth and body condition in embryonic and adult sand lizards

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3284-3298, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Current knowledge about telomere biology relies to a very high degree on results from research on endotherms. This would not be problematic if organisms shared the same mechanisms regulating telomere length (TL) but this is not necessarily the case; for example, most ...

Sea Turtle Identification and Viewing Guidelines

EDIS, 2006
WEC-209, a 4-page illustrated fact sheet by Lindsay Nester and William M. Giuliano, provides instruction in how to appropriately view threatened and endangered sea turtles nesting and hatching; how to deal with stranded, injured, or dead turtles; and ...

Informing research priorities for immature sea turtles through expert elicitation

Endangered Species Research, 2018
Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large proportion of sea turtle populations comprises immature ...

Thermoregulation in the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea)

, 2009
Adult leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) exhibit thermal gradients between their bodies and the environment of ≥ 8 °C in sub-polar waters and ≤ 4 °C in the tropics. There has been no direct evidence for thermoregulation in leatherbacks although modelling and morphological studies have given an indication of how thermoregulation may be achieved.
