CT Anatomy of the Lower Respiratory Tracts of the Testudo graeca

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
In this study, we used high‐resolution computed tomography (CT) to examine the trachea, bronchi and lungs of Testudo graeca. The tortoises were scanned in two different body positions: When their head, neck and limbs were retracted inside the shell (flexed), and when these body parts were extended outside the shell.

3D CT Anatomy and Morphology of the Appendicular Skeleton of European Pond Turtle (Emys orbicularis)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study has been designed to assess the anatomical features of the skeletal system in this species and draw comparisons with other turtle species. CT‐Scan Machine and Micro CT‐Scan Machine were used for this study. Gross anatomical studies were performed on prepared bones using the method of using insects.

Sea Turtle Bycatch Mitigation in U.S. Longline Fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Capture of sea turtles in longline fisheries has been implicated in population declines of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles. Since 2004, United States (U.S.) longline vessels targeting swordfish and tunas in the

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Marine litter can shift sea turtle nests toward the shoreline

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Marine litter is an emerging threat to sea turtle rookeries, yet its effects on nesting behaviour remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated how macro‐litter accumulation on beaches influences the spatial distribution of loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta nests on Boa Vista Island, Cabo Verde.

Mapping Priority Havens: Interactive Effects of Climate Change and Predator Dynamics on Sea Turtle Nesting Patterns

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Understanding broad‐scale ecological responses to global change is essential for investigating and conserving biodiversity. Sea turtles, with their ancient evolutionary history and global distribution, serve as an ideal model for understanding these ecological responses.

The effects of dune plant roots on loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nest success

Ecology and Evolution
Sand dunes are supported by the extensive root systems of dune plants that anchor the dune and protect it from erosion. While all plants that grow on the dunes support their structure, invasive plants can outcompete the native and non‐native dune plants ...
