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.

Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa Rica
Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT Sea turtle species, even when sharing nesting beaches, exhibit distinct at‐sea movements and foraging behavior. At Playa Cabuyal, a sea turtle nesting beach in northwest Costa Rica, we utilized satellite telemetry to reveal the post‐nesting movement of green turtles (Chelonia mydas, n = 9) alongside carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis ...

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 38, Issue 4, November 2025.ABSTRACT Nature tourism based on the observation of sea turtles is a socioeconomic activity that promotes the conservation of endangered species. However, tourism can affect the nesting sites, drastically affecting the ecosystem function. In this study, we propose a socio‐ecological model to describe the interplay between tourists and a turtle ...

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Taxonomic Classifiers in Marine Vertebrate eDNA Studies
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a widely used tool for surveying marine vertebrate biodiversity. To this end, many computational tools have been released and a plethora of bioinformatic approaches are used for eDNA‐based community composition analysis.

Camera Traps: A Novel Method to Estimate Numbers of Nesting Sea Turtles
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.We compared sea turtle track counts from camera traps with those from simultaneous foot patrol surveys. Our findings support the use of camera traps as a complementary tool to fill data gaps at remote sites that would otherwise receive little to no assessment.

First report of an olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) inside the Mediterranean Sea
Mediterranean Marine Science, 2015 We report the first confirmed occurrence of a Lepidochelys olivacea in the Mediterranean Sea based on the study of an individual stranded on a beach, located in the town of Oropesa del Mar (40º05ʹ32ʺN, 0º08ʹ02ʺE), Castellón province, East Spain, in May 2014. Morphological and genetic analyses were used to confirm the identification of the species.

Local Adaptation May Help Mitigate Feminisation of Sea Turtle Populations Globally
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.We evaluate whether sea turtles have the capacity to adapt to warming temperatures through local adaptations of the pivotal temperature at which they produce a balanced amount of male and female hatchlings. We show that at warmer sites, lower proportions of female hatchlings are produced than expected.

Environmental implications of future offshore renewable energy development in Aotearoa New Zealand
Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 912-945, August 2025.ABSTRACT Global climate mitigation efforts seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions require more renewable energy generation and utilisation. In Aotearoa New Zealand there are initiatives underway to develop offshore wind, or in the future, arrays of tidal turbines or wave energy converters, as a new energy resource.
