Repeated Biting by a Mediterranean Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2023
Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are very large. During spawning season, they land on the beaches of Turkey and Greece at night, which are frequently visited by humans, and lay their eggs. Typically, they suck feed in deep water. It is uncommon for C caretta, which have strong mouths and jaws, to attack people.

The magnetic map of hatchling loggerhead sea turtles

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2012
Young loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from eastern Florida, U.S.A., undertake a transoceanic migration in which they gradually circle the North Atlantic Ocean before returning to the North American coast. Hatchlings in the open sea are guided at least partly by a 'magnetic map' in which regional magnetic fields function as navigational markers

MOVEMENTS OF THREE LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES IN TUSCANY WATERS

Atti della Società Toscana di Scienze Naturali Residente in Pisa Memorie serie B, 2011
The coastal waters along Tuscany (Central Italy) are thought to represent a good foraging ground for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), especially, but not only, during the juvenile phase. We describe the movements of three juvenile loggerheads released along the Tuscany coast after having been accidentally caught by fishermen and rehabilitated by ...

Respiratory mechanics of the loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta

Respiration Physiology, 1989
Respiratory mechanics were evaluated in excised lungs and in spontaneously breathing loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Respiratory compliance curves reflect the pressure volume characteristics of the body wall. Compliance values are comparable to those of reptiles having simpler lung structure.

SPIRORCHIDIASIS IN LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES (CARETTA CARETTA): PATHOLOGY

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1982
Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the Atlantic seaboard (Florida to Massachusetts) were examined at the Marine Pathology Laboratory, University of Rhode Island, from March through December, 1980. Three genera of blood flukes (spirorchids) were found in 14 (33%) of the 43 turtles.

Lungworm Infection in Three Loggerhead Sea Turtles, Caretta caretta

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2008
Although lungworms are known to infect many mammalian species and a few are known to infect snakes, lizards, and birds, previously none were known to infect chelonians. This study documents the first three known cases of lungworms in loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta.

Ultrasonographic imaging of loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta )

Veterinary Record, 2007
Twenty live and five dead juvenile and subadult loggerhead sea turtles were examined ultrasonographically. Ten soft tissue areas of the integument were used as acoustic windows: cervical‐dorsal and cervical‐ventral, left and right cervicobrachial, left and right axillary, left and right prefemoral and left and right postfemoral windows.

Polyphasic Growth in Pelagic Loggerhead Sea Turtles

Copeia, 1998
Zug et al. (1995) presented size-at-age data for 12 pelagic loggerheads caught in the North Pacific drift-net fishery. Size was recorded as straight (SCL cm) and curved (CCL cm) carapace length. Age was estimated using skeletochronology. They found that the pelagic phase for loggerheads spans 10 or more years.

Stable isotopic comparison between loggerhead sea turtle tissues

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 2014
RATIONALE Stable isotope analysis has been used extensively to provide ecological information about diet and foraging location of many species. The difference in isotopic composition between animal tissue and its diet, or the diet‐tissue discrimination factor, varies with tissue type ...
