Interannual Differences for Sea Turtles Bycatch in Spanish Longliners from Western Mediterranean Sea
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Recent studies showed that regional abundance of loggerhead and leatherback turtles could oscillate interannually according to oceanographic and climatic conditions. The Western Mediterranean is an important fishing area for the Spanish drifting longline

The Mexican Loggerhead Turtle in Europe [PDF]
Nature, 1938 THE Mexican loggerhead turtle, Colpochelys kempi Garman, is distinguished from Caretta caretta (Linne) by its colour, in possessing four enlarged infra-marginals instead of three on each side, and its smaller size. A native of the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent waters, it is so localized that few if any European museums possess specimens.

Low incidence of twinning in the loggerhead sea turtle
Folia Zoologica, 2011 Twinning has been reported to be much rarer in sea turtles than in freshwater turtles. However, data from sea turtles were inferred from unhatched eggs only. We hypothesized that the difference in twinning events among turtle taxa resulted primarily from the methods used for recording data.

Names of some Atlantic Loggerhead Turtles [PDF]
Nature, 1939 THERE appears to be no authority for the belief that, where the original description is unrecognizable, the name is applied on the basis of the first recognizable account which appears afterwards under the same name. If the work of subsequent authors is taken into account at all, that of Lacepede, Bonnaterre and Daudin must also be considered.

PROPOFOL ANESTHESIA IN LOGGERHEAD (CARETTA CARETTA) SEA TURTLES [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2008 Rapid, safe, and effective methods of anesthetic induction and recovery are needed for sea turtles, especially in cases eligible for immediate release. This study demonstrates that intravenous propofol provides a rapid induction of anesthesia in loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles and results in rapid recovery, allowing safe return to water ...
