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

First Record of Triplet Embryos in Sea Turtles: Evidence of Natural Polyembryony in a Wild Green Turtle (<i>Chelonia mydas</i>) Nest From Guanahacabibes, Cuba. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A rare case of polyembryonic triplets in a wild green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nest demonstrates how multiple embryos can develop within a single egg under natural conditions. Morphological and embryological evidence, including independent yolk vasculature and marked asymmetry among embryos, support a monozygotic origin and highlight developmental ...

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.

The conservation of loggerhead turtles in Zakynthos, Greece [PDF]

Oryx, 1990
The population of loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta nesting on the island of Zakynthos, Greece, the largest known rookery in the Mediterranean, is in danger of dying out because of the effects of human interference. Tourism is a prime factor in causing problems, which include direct disturbance of nesting females, compaction of the sand and ...

Epibionts Reflect Spatial and Foraging Ecology of Gulf of Mexico Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Sea turtles are exposed to numerous threats during migrations to their foraging grounds and at those locations. Therefore, information on sea turtle foraging and spatial ecology can guide conservation initiatives, yet it is difficult to directly observe ...
