De novo transcriptome assembly of loggerhead sea turtle nesting of the Colombian Caribbean
Genomics Data, 2017 Loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta is widely distributed in the oceans of tropical and subtropical latitude. This turtle is an endangered species due to anthropic and natural factors that have decreased their population levels.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the trophic ecology of loggerhead turtles recorded stranded along the Paraná coast in southern Brazil. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes were analysed in muscle tissues from 20 loggerhead turtles and in 69 specimens representing 12 prey species (molluscs, crustaceans and teleost fishes).

Sea turtle nesting in the Ten Thousand Islands of Florida [PDF]
, 1997 Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) nest in numerous substrate and beach types within the Ten Thousand Islands (TTl) of southwest Florida. Nesting beach selection was analyzed on 12 islands within this archipelago.

Acquisition of magnetic directional preference in hatchling loggerhead sea turtles
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1994 ABSTRACT During their natal migration, hatchling loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta L.) establish courses towards the open ocean and maintain them after swimming beyond sight of land. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that swimming hatchlings can orient using the earth’s magnetic field. For the magnetic compass to function in

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Breeding male marine turtles are poorly characterized due to their inaccessibility. Here, we demonstrate that genotyping sperm trapped in the perivitelline membrane of a single egg permits assessment of multiple paternity and direct paternal genotyping in singly sired clutches.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 505-517, February 2026.Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are one of the most common statistical methods to assess species occupancy and geographic distribution patterns. With the increasing complexity and availability of ecological data in the marine context, many methodological approaches have been developed to support SDM analysis.

Smaller Size of Nesting Loggerhead Sea Turtles in Northwest Florida. [PDF]
Animals (Basel)The distribution of individual body sizes within a population can have substantial impacts on recovery estimates for endangered species. Recent studies have observed a reduction in the size of nesting sea turtles with potential implications for fecundity. To investigate the size of reproductive individuals and subsequent impacts on hatchling production
