Surface microbiota of Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtles unraveled by 16S and 18S amplicon sequencing

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The loggerhead sea turtle is considered a keystone species with a major ecological role in Mediterranean marine environment. As is the case with other wild reptiles, their outer microbiome is rarely studied.

Epibionts Reflect Spatial and Foraging Ecology of Gulf of Mexico Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Sea turtles are exposed to numerous threats during migrations to their foraging grounds and at those locations. Therefore, information on sea turtle foraging and spatial ecology can guide conservation initiatives, yet it is difficult to directly observe ...

Gastrointestinal helminth community of loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2012
We analysed the intestinal helminth community of 70 loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta with a curved carapace length ranging from 25 to 85.4 cm, recovered dead in neritic foraging habitats in the Adriatic Sea in 1995 to 2004. The overall prevalence of infection was high (70.0%), with a mean abundance of 36.8 helminth parasites per turtle.

Basin-wide estimates of loggerhead turtle abundance in the Mediterranean Sea derived from line transect surveys

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Loggerhead turtles are a globally vulnerable species of marine turtle. Broad-scale patterns of distribution and abundance can provide regional managers a tool to effectively conserve and manage this species at basin and sub-basin scales.

Overview of the population genetics and connectivity of sea turtles in the East Asia Region and their conservation implications

Frontiers in Marine Science
Understanding the current status and recent development of the population genetics and connectivity of sea turtles is crucial for effective conservation management of the species. Five sea turtle species, green turtle (Chelonia mydas), loggerhead turtle (

Novel Insights Into Gas Embolism in Sea Turtles: First Description in Three New Species

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The recent finding of gas embolism (GE) and decompression sickness (DCS) in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea challenged the conventional understanding of marine vertebrate diving physiology.

Do costal erosion and urban development threat loggerhead sea turtle nesting? Implications for sandy beach management

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Nest beach selection by sea turtles at a regional scale may depend on upper shore environmental cues. Thus, the variability of sandy beach conditions, including coastal erosion rates and urban development can affect their nesting ecology.

Loggerhead sea turtle bycatch data in artisanal fisheries within a marine protected area: fishermen surveys versus scientific observations

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011
Loggerhead sea turtles can be incidentally captured by artisanal gears but information about the impact of this fishing is inconsistent and scarce. Recent studies have observed that the bycatch, or incidental catch rate, in fishermen surveys is irregular.
