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.

Feeding Practices, Body Condition, and Estimated Energy Provision in Rescued Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) at a Mediterranean Rehabilitation Center: A Three‐Year Retrospective Study

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Between 2020 and 2023, 20 loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) were rehabilitated at a Mediterranean center, with estimated target gross energy provision of 11.1–22.2 kcal/kg body weight/day (squid only) and 18.1–36.2 (mixed regimen), energy actually consumed falling within these ranges, and 90% released.

Social values of biodiversity conservation for the endangered loggerhead turtle and monk seal [PDF]

, 2007
The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) and the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) are two species on the priority list for conservation in Greece due to their dwindling populations worldwide. Hence the issue of estimating willingness to pay for

The Gulf of Manfredonia: a new neritic foraging area for loggerhead sea turtles in the Adriatic Sea

Acta Herpetologica, 2012
The Adriatic Sea is an important foraging area for the loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, but neritic habitats for this species along the Italian coast were identified in the northern shallow area only.

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.

Comparative species distribution model framework for marine conservation and its application to loggerhead turtles in the Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Modeling species distributions in dynamic pelagic environments remains challenging, particularly for wide‐ranging and highly mobile species when there is limited guidance on model performance. This limitation constrains the effective use of species distribution models (SDMs) in marine conservation, where robust and transferable predictions are

Health assessment of Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta): nesting fermales and hatchlings [PDF]

, 2007
Most of the existing sea turtle populations world wide are in decline. This has been largely attributed to anthropogenic factors such as coastal development; poaching, fisheries by-catch, climate change and pollution. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta)
