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 ...

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.

Movements of marine and estuarine turtles during Hurricane Michael

Scientific Reports, 2021
Natural disturbances are an important driver of population dynamics. Because it is difficult to observe wildlife during these events, our understanding of the strategies that species use to survive these disturbances is limited.

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 ...

Genetic Identity and Diversity of Loggerhead Sea Turtles in the Central Mediterranean Sea

Genes
Background: The conservation of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the central Mediterranean benefits from an in-depth understanding of its population genetic structure and diversity. Methods: This study, therefore, investigates C. caretta in Maltese waters by genetically analysing 63 specimens collected through strandings and in-water ...

Acquisition of magnetic directional preference in hatchling loggerhead sea turtles

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1994
ABSTRACT During their natal migration, hatchling loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta L.) establish courses towards the open ocean and maintain them after swimming beyond sight of land. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that swimming hatchlings can orient using the earth’s magnetic field. For the magnetic compass to function in

De novo transcriptome assembly of loggerhead sea turtle nesting of the Colombian Caribbean

Genomics Data, 2017
Loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta is widely distributed in the oceans of tropical and subtropical latitude. This turtle is an endangered species due to anthropic and natural factors that have decreased their population levels.
