Magnet-induced disorientation in hatchling loggerhead sea turtles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2003
SUMMARYLaboratory experiments have indicated that hatchling loggerhead sea turtles(Caretta caretta) are able to establish and maintain courses using information from the Earth's magnetic field. In previous experiments, turtles were tested in relatively uniform magnetic fields generated by large coil systems surrounding an orientation arena.

Individual bumblebee foraging repertoires: Implications for disease persistence

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Generalist species may be comprised of individual specialists. Individual specialization can impact disease transmission at shared resources by shaping contact patterns. Mathematical models of pollinator diseases that spread via flowers have shown that R0 can be greatly

Social values of biodiversity conservation for the endangered loggerhead turtle and monk seal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) and the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) are two species on the priority list for conservation in Greece due to their dwindling populations worldwide. Hence the issue of estimating willingness to pay for

First detailed morphological description of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) caught from the Yellow Sea of Korea

open access: yesJournal of Ecology and Environment, 2014
To date, no study has reported detailed morphological characteristics of Korean sea turtles. Due to the lack of such basic information on Korean sea turtles, further related studies have been difficult in South Korea.

Surface microbiota of Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtles unraveled by 16S and 18S amplicon sequencing

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The loggerhead sea turtle is considered a keystone species with a major ecological role in Mediterranean marine environment. As is the case with other wild reptiles, their outer microbiome is rarely studied.

Feeding Practices, Body Condition, and Estimated Energy Provision in Rescued Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) at a Mediterranean Rehabilitation Center: A Three‐Year Retrospective Study

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Between 2020 and 2023, 20 loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) were rehabilitated at a Mediterranean center, with estimated target gross energy provision of 11.1–22.2 kcal/kg body weight/day (squid only) and 18.1–36.2 (mixed regimen), energy actually consumed falling within these ranges, and 90% released.

Health assessment of Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta): nesting fermales and hatchlings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Most of the existing sea turtle populations world wide are in decline. This has been largely attributed to anthropogenic factors such as coastal development; poaching, fisheries by-catch, climate change and pollution. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta)
