Thermoregulation in the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea)
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.

This study explores the application of environmental DNA sampling for chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) surveillance in endangered sea turtles around Singapore. We demonstrate the direct detection of ChHV5 from seawater, and the feasibility of sediment‐based ChHV5 detection using a spike‐and‐recovery experiment.
