Maternal transfer of trace elements in leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) of French Guiana [PDF]

, 2008
In sea turtles, parental investment is limited to the nutrients and energy invested in eggs that will support embryonic development. Leatherback females have the largest clutches with the biggest eggs of the sea turtles and the highest reproductive ...

Occurrence of leatherback turtles around Australia

Endangered Species Research
Leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea are a pelagic species, globally endangered due to multiple anthropogenic impacts. Although protected under Australian legislation, species-specific practical protection has been hampered by sparse information about leatherback distribution in Australian waters.

Estimating body mass in leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2006
Body mass is a major life-history trait and provides a scale for all living processes of organisms. Unfortunately body mass cannot be easily measured for many species, because of the logistical difficulties involved in actually catching and weighing them.

Habitat fidelity in hawksbill sea turtles

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Climate change is altering habitat suitability and driving shifts in species distributions. To understand potential responses by mobile animals, it is essential to assess levels of plasticity in habitat use, ranging from transience to long‐term fidelity.

Behaviour and Physiology: The Thermal Strategy of Leatherback Turtles

PLoS ONE, 2010
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.We ...

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...
