Forensic characterization of sea turtle oil by ambient ionization mass spectrometry: Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, Dermochelys coriacea, Eretmochelys imbricata, Lepidochelys kempii, and Lepidochelys olivacea

Forensic Science International: Animals and Environments, 2021
Historically the oils from sea turtles have had a high commercial demand, and this trade has contributed to an alarming decrease in sea turtle populations worldwide.

Novel Insights Into Gas Embolism in Sea Turtles: First Description in Three New Species

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The recent finding of gas embolism (GE) and decompression sickness (DCS) in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea challenged the conventional understanding of marine vertebrate diving physiology.

Fine-scale foraging ecology of leatherback turtles [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Remote tracking of migratory species and statistical modeling of behaviors have enabled identification of areas that are of high ecological value to these widely distributed taxa. However, direct observations at fine spatio-temporal scales are often needed to correctly interpret behaviors.

Identification of pathogenic bacteria from eggshell of leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) in Lampuuk Beach, Aceh Besar using 16S rRNA gene

Veterinary Integrative Sciences
Currently, the leatherback turtle population in Indonesia tends to decline. One of the factors that cause turtles' existence is the turtle eggs that fail to hatch because bacteria contaminate them, 80% of the reasons turtle eggs fail to hatch ...

Acinetobacter sp. HM746599 isolated from leatherback turtle blood [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2011
A newly described bacterial isolate, Acinetobacter sp. HM746599, has been obtained from leatherback sea turtle hatchling blood. The implication is that the hatchling was infected during development in the egg, which is substantiated by other studies to be reported by us in the future.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Abundance, distribution, and habitat of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) off California, 1990−2003 [PDF]

, 2007
Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are regularly seen off the U.S. West Coast, where they forage on jellyfish (Scyphomedusae) during summer and fall. Aerial line-transect surveys were conducted in neritic waters (

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

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
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 ...
