Exploring sociodemographic and cultural characteristics of sea turtle take and use to support effective conservation strategies in Indonesia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 51-64, January 2026.
Abstract Many sea turtle populations face severe declines in the Asia‐Pacific region and, although threats are widely recognised, drivers are practically unknown, especially in Indonesia. We surveyed 140 respondents at three sites in Sumatra, Indonesia (Padang, Mentawai, Nias) to identify how sociodemographic and cultural characteristics across these ...

At‐sea distribution of seals on the Northwest European Shelf: Towards transboundary conservation and management

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other central‐place and migratory species, supporting transboundary biodiversity assessments and international conservation policy. We discuss common limitations and

Thermoregulation in the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea)

open access: yes, 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.

Distribution Models Reveal Important Coastal Habitats for Endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim With the development and operation of offshore wind farms along the United States East Coast, it is imperative that we understand the distributions of vulnerable species so we can track and predict potential interactions. We focused on leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) as they depend on this region for important stages of ...

Is Telomere Length Optimized in Hatchling Sand Lizards?

open access: yesEvolution &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.
