Repeated Biting by a Mediterranean Loggerhead Sea Turtle
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2023Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtles ( Caretta caretta) are very large. During spawning season, they land on the beaches of Turkey and Greece at night, which are frequently visited by humans, and lay their eggs. Typically, they suck feed in deep water. It is uncommon for C caretta, which have strong mouths and jaws, to attack people.

The magnetic map of hatchling loggerhead sea turtles
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2012Young loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from eastern Florida, U.S.A., undertake a transoceanic migration in which they gradually circle the North Atlantic Ocean before returning to the North American coast. Hatchlings in the open sea are guided at least partly by a 'magnetic map' in which regional magnetic fields function as navigational markers

Multiple Paternity in the Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta)
Journal of Heredity, 1988Genotypic ratios within clutches of loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) embryos, from the Mon Repos rookery (Queensland), deviate significantly from the Mendelian ratios expected on the null hypothesis of single paternity. One-third of all clutches provide evidence for multiple insemination, indicating that multiple mating constitutes the major ...

The Growth of the Loggerhead Turtle
The American Naturalist, 1929(1) The loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta (Linn.), on hatching weighs about 20 grams and its carapace measures approximately 4.8 centimeters in length by 3.5 centimeters in width. (2) An individual reared in confinement at Key West, Florida, when four and a half years old, weighed 37 kilograms, or a little over one fourth the average adult weight. Its

Multiple Paternity in Loggerhead Turtle Clutches
Copeia, 1999Microsatellite DNA was used to determine paternity in loggerhead turtle clutches. Hatchlings from three clutches were genotyped at two loci, as were their mothers and a sample of adults. A maximum-likelihood analysis determined the most likely number of fathers represented in each clutch using the genotypes and population allele frequencies.

Nesting And Migration of the Atlantic Loggerhead Turtle
Bulletin of the Florida Museum of Natural History, 1959Tagging evidence shows that female Atlantic loggerhead sea turtles may travel as much as 1000 shoreline miles away from the nesting beach in 10 months. The nesting procedure of the Atlantic loggerhead is described and illustrated. The loggerhead sometimes nests singly, but more often in aggregations on restricted stretches of beach„ Loggerheads mate ...

The effects of warming on loggerhead turtle nesting counts
Journal of Animal EcologyAbstract Global trends in marine turtle nesting numbers vary by region, influenced by environmental or anthropogenic factors. Our study investigates the potential role of past temperature fluctuations on these trends, particularly whether warmer beaches are linked to increased nesting due to higher female production (since sea turtles have ...

MOVEMENTS OF THREE LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES IN TUSCANY WATERS
Atti della Società Toscana di Scienze Naturali Residente in Pisa Memorie serie B, 2011The coastal waters along Tuscany (Central Italy) are thought to represent a good foraging ground for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), especially, but not only, during the juvenile phase. We describe the movements of three juvenile loggerheads released along the Tuscany coast after having been accidentally caught by fishermen and rehabilitated by ...
