Anatomy of the heart of the leatherback turtle. [PDF]

J Anat, 2022
AbstractNon-crocodylian reptiles have hearts with a single ventricle, which is partially separated by a muscular ridge that provide some separation of blood flows. An exceptional situation exists in monitor lizards and pythons, where the ventricular left side generates a much higher systolic blood pressure than the right side, thus resembling mammals ...

Driftnets Catch Leatherback Turtles [PDF]

Oryx, 1982
In 1979 Japanese fishing vessels began using monofilament mesh driftnets to catch squid in international waters north-west of the Hawaiian Islands, between 35° and 45° N. This new fishery threatens the survival of leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea in their North Pacific feeding grounds and migration routes. It is only recently that the existence

Long-Term Incubation Duration Decline Indicates Climate-Change Driven Feminization of Three Sea Turtle Species in Florida, USA. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We analysed more than 110,000 sea turtle nests from three species across Florida to track climate‐driven changes in incubation duration, a simple proxy for hatchling sex. Our results reveal widespread shortening of incubation periods and thus increasing feminisation, but also identify geographic and seasonal refuges where more males are produced.

Resource requirements of the Pacific leatherback turtle population. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2012
The Pacific population of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) has drastically declined in the last 25 years. This decline has been linked to incidental capture by fisheries, egg and meat harvesting, and recently, to climate variability and resource limitation.

Using fisheries observation data to develop a predictive species distribution model for endangered sea turtles

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
The Eastern Pacific leatherback turtle population (Dermochelys coriacea) has declined precipitously in recent years. One of the major causes is bycatch from coastal and pelagic fisheries.
