A biphasic navigational strategy in loggerhead sea turtles [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractThe homing journeys of nine loggerhead turtles translocated from their nesting beach to offshore release sites, were reconstructed through Argos and GPS telemetry while their water-related orientation was simultaneously recorded at high temporal resolution by multi-sensor data loggers featuring a three-axis magnetic sensor.

Assessing the use of marine protected areas by loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) tracked from the western Mediterranean

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Up to date 264 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been declared in the western Mediterranean Sea. The management plans of 25 of these MPAs include the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) as a priority species to protect.

Barnacle Epibiosis on Sea Turtles in Korea: A West Pacific Region With Low Occurrence and Intensity of Chelonibia testudinaria (Cirripedia: Chelonibiidae)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Loggerhead and green turtles inhabit all oceans except the polar regions. External surfaces of sea turtles are often colonized by epibiotic chelonibiid barnacles.

Fishhook Lesions in Loggerhead Sea Turtles [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007
This study describes four cases of loggerhead sea turtles with fishhooks in the gastrointestinal tract. Two dead turtles with a hook in the esophagus had local fibrosis with an invagination of the keratinized stratified squamous epithelium surrounding the hook, isolating it from the subjacent stroma, one had a hook in the cloaca which was expelled ...

First study of sea turtle strandings in Algeria (western Mediterranean) and associated threats: 2016–2017 [PDF]

Herpetozoa, 2020
Between December 2015 and December 2017 a total of 63 sea turtles were recorded as being stranded along the Algerian coast. The loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta was the most commonly stranded species (n = 44) (69.8%), followed by the leatherback ...

Perception of airborne odors by loggerhead sea turtles [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009
SUMMARY Sea turtles are known to detect chemical cues, but in contrast to most marine animals, turtles surface to breathe and thus potentially have access to olfactory cues both in air and in water. To determine whether sea turtles can detect airborne chemical cues, captive loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) were placed into a circular,

Understanding contaminant exposure risks in nesting Loggerhead sea turtle populations [PDF]

, 2023
Queensland loggerhead turtle nest numbers at Mon Repos (MR) indicate population recovery that doesn't occur at Wreck Island (WI). Previous research illustrated that MR and WI turtles forage in different locations, potentially indicating risks differences.

Cayman Islands Sea Turtle Nesting Population Increases Over 22 Years of Monitoring

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Given differing trajectories of sea turtle populations worldwide, there is a need to assess and report long-term population trends and determine which conservation strategies are effective.

Magnet-induced disorientation in hatchling loggerhead sea turtles [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2003
SUMMARYLaboratory experiments have indicated that hatchling loggerhead sea turtles(Caretta caretta) are able to establish and maintain courses using information from the Earth's magnetic field. In previous experiments, turtles were tested in relatively uniform magnetic fields generated by large coil systems surrounding an orientation arena.

PROPOFOL ANESTHESIA IN LOGGERHEAD (CARETTA CARETTA) SEA TURTLES [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008
Rapid, safe, and effective methods of anesthetic induction and recovery are needed for sea turtles, especially in cases eligible for immediate release. This study demonstrates that intravenous propofol provides a rapid induction of anesthesia in loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles and results in rapid recovery, allowing safe return to water ...
