Australian Loggerhead Sea Turtle Hatchlings Do Not Avoid Yellow

Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology, 2012
When emerging from the nest, sea turtle hatchlings primarily orient using visual stimuli, with light pollution known to disrupt effective sea localization behavior.

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 ...

Physiologic and clinicopathologic effects of crude oil on loggerhead sea turtles

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1995
The physiologic and clinicopathologic effects of weathered South Louisiana crude oil exposure were studied in the laboratory in juvenile loggerhead sea turtles. Sea turtles ingested oil incidentally, and oil was observed clinging to the nares, eyes, and upper esophagus, and was found in the feces.

Migrations of the loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, into the Adriatic Sea [PDF]

, 2000
Data on migrations of sea turtles in the Adriatic Sea are extremely rare. In the first 10 years of the implementation of tagging programs in the Mediterranean basin (1981/82-1992), 13 tagged loggerheads were recaptured in the Adriatic Sea, only 4 being reported from Croatian waters.

Effects of brevetoxin exposure on the immune system of loggerhead sea turtles

Aquatic Toxicology, 2010
Blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, occur almost annually off the Florida coast. These blooms, commonly called "red tides", produce a group of neurotoxins collectively termed brevetoxins. Many species of sealife, including sea turtles, are severely impacted by brevetoxin exposure. Effects of brevetoxins on immune cells were investigated

Loggerhead sea turtles as bioturbators in marine ecosystems

2008
The northern Adriatic Sea is one of the most important foraging habitats for loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean. Its shallow continental shelf, favorable sea temperatures and rich benthic communities constitute feeding areas for loggerheads in neritic stage.

Magnetoreception Abilities in Juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtles

2017
Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) complete extensive, open-ocean migrations around the North Atlantic subtropical gyre current system over the course of many years. Evidence suggests that magnetoreception, or the ability to detect the Earth’s magnetic field, plays a role in their ability to navigate large, open areas lacking obvious cues.
