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 ...

Hearing in the Juvenile Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas): A Comparison of Underwater and Aerial Hearing Using Auditory Evoked Potentials [PDF]
, 2016 Sea turtles spend much of their life in aquatic environments, but critical portions of their life cycle, such as nesting and hatching, occur in terrestrial environments, suggesting that it may be important for them to detect sounds in both air and water.

Beyond fishing: loggerhead turtle impalement by swordfish
Marine and Fishery Sciences, 2022 Sea turtles are susceptible to a wide range of impacts. In Brazil, the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758) is the main sea turtle species caught incidentally by longline fishing fleets that target the blue shark Prionace glauca (Linnaeus,

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.

Complexity and variation in loggerhead sea turtle life history [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2007 Juvenile loggerhead sea turtles spend more than a decade in the open ocean before returning to neritic waters to mature and reproduce. It has been assumed that this transition from an oceanic to neritic existence is a discrete ontogenetic niche shift. We tested this hypothesis by tracking the movements of large juveniles collected in a neritic foraging
