Asynchronous emergence by loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta ) hatchlings
Naturwissenschaften, 2001For many decades it has been accepted that marine turtle hatchlings from the same nest generally emerge from the sand together. However, for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) nesting on the Greek Island of Kefalonia, a more asynchronous pattern of emergence has been documented.

Correlation of AVHRR SST with the presence of loggerhead turtles
IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477), 2004The Mid-Atlantic serves as a host environment for a number of sea turtle species that encompasses their seasonal migration routes. Global evidence suggests that that the migration routes are strongly influenced by two factors: sea surface temperature and chlorophyll concentrations.

Respiratory mechanics of the loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta
Respiration Physiology, 1989Respiratory mechanics were evaluated in excised lungs and in spontaneously breathing loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Respiratory compliance curves reflect the pressure volume characteristics of the body wall. Compliance values are comparable to those of reptiles having simpler lung structure.

SPIRORCHIDIASIS IN LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES (CARETTA CARETTA): PATHOLOGY
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1982Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the Atlantic seaboard (Florida to Massachusetts) were examined at the Marine Pathology Laboratory, University of Rhode Island, from March through December, 1980. Three genera of blood flukes (spirorchids) were found in 14 (33%) of the 43 turtles.

At Loggerheads: Gear Damage in the Blue Crab Fishery Attributed to Loggerhead Sea Turtles
North American Journal of Fisheries Management, 2009Abstract North Carolina's fishery for the blue crab Callinectes sapidus is experiencing problems with gear damage during the summer season. Individuals of a protected species, the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta, are the likely culprits of crab pot damage, bait theft, and reduced crab catch, perhaps with important economic impacts.

Predicting the Impact of Turtle Excluder Devices on Loggerhead Sea Turtle Populations
Ecological Applications, 1994In this paper, we modified and updated a stage—based population model for loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) and used the model to project potential population—level effects of the use of turtle excluder devices (TEDs) in trawl fisheries of the southeastern US. We reduced the seven—stage model of Crouse et al.

HEMATOLOGY OF THE LOGGERHEAD TURTLE, CARETTA CARETTA
2011The study of the hematological characteristics of loggerhead turtles can be very helpful in the rescue and rehabilitation of this endangered species. Normal hemocellular and biochemical values are the basis for the evaluation of a subject’s health status.

Development of the Chondrocranium of the Loggerhead Turtle, Caretta caretta
Zoological Science, 1999Abstract To better understand the evolution and development of the amniote cranium, it is necessary to examine non-avian, non-mammalian embryos. Herein, development of the chondrocranium in the loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta, is described based on whole-mount and sectioned specimens.

HATCHLING LOGGERHEAD TURTLES PICK UP DMS
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012![Figure][1] Within minutes of breaking out of their shells, newly hatched loggerhead turtles embark on what is possibly the longest known migration. Spanning entire ocean basins, crossing barren dead zones and verdant ocean frontal systems, the young voyagers must rapidly identify and ...
