Fishhook Lesions in Loggerhead Sea Turtles [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2007 This study describes four cases of loggerhead sea turtles with fishhooks in the gastrointestinal tract. Two dead turtles with a hook in the esophagus had local fibrosis with an invagination of the keratinized stratified squamous epithelium surrounding the hook, isolating it from the subjacent stroma, one had a hook in the cloaca which was expelled ...

Cayman Islands Sea Turtle Nesting Population Increases Over 22 Years of Monitoring
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Given differing trajectories of sea turtle populations worldwide, there is a need to assess and report long-term population trends and determine which conservation strategies are effective.

A biphasic navigational strategy in loggerhead sea turtles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractThe homing journeys of nine loggerhead turtles translocated from their nesting beach to offshore release sites, were reconstructed through Argos and GPS telemetry while their water-related orientation was simultaneously recorded at high temporal resolution by multi-sensor data loggers featuring a three-axis magnetic sensor.

Understanding contaminant exposure risks in nesting Loggerhead sea turtle populations [PDF]
, 2023 Queensland loggerhead turtle nest numbers at Mon Repos (MR) indicate population recovery that doesn't occur at Wreck Island (WI). Previous research illustrated that MR and WI turtles forage in different locations, potentially indicating risks differences.

Success of Delayed Translocation of Loggerhead Turtle Nests [PDF]
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2007 ABSTRACT Sea turtle embryo mortality in natural nests due to environmental and anthropogenic factors can be very high. To increase hatching success of these endangered species, nest translocation to hatcheries immediately after egg‐laying is a common management tool.

Sea Turtle Nesting Beach Fidelity Revealed by Satellite Tracking [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study demonstrates mixed fidelity strategies within an island hawksbill population, suggesting that fidelity reflects natal philopatry and the proximity of alternative sites. Limited monitoring coverage at remote sites likely contributes to under‐detection of nestings by study‐beach unfaithful individuals. Individuals using alternative sites signal

Perception of airborne odors by loggerhead sea turtles [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009 SUMMARY Sea turtles are known to detect chemical cues, but in contrast to most marine animals, turtles surface to breathe and thus potentially have access to olfactory cues both in air and in water. To determine whether sea turtles can detect airborne chemical cues, captive loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) were placed into a circular,
