Molecular characterization of a marine turtle tumor epizootic, profiling external, internal and postsurgical regrowth tumors [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2021 Yetsko, Farrell, Duffy, and colleagues conduct transcriptomic and immunohistological profiling of tumors from sea turtles with fibropapillomatosis. Internal tumors are distinct from more common external tumors, but share some oncogenic signaling pathways

Status of marine turtle rehabilitation in Queensland. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Rehabilitation of marine turtles in Queensland has multifaceted objectives. It treats individual animals, serves to educate the public, and contributes to conservation. We examined the outcome from rehabilitation, time in rehabilitation, and subsequent recapture and restranding rates of stranded marine turtles between 1996 and 2013 to determine if the ...

Origins of green turtle fishery bycatch in the central Pacific revealed by mixed genetic markers
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Longline fishing vessels, such as those that target tuna or billfish, also unintentionally catch endangered marine turtle species on the high seas. The stock composition of this bycatch is often unknown but potentially complex, with individuals coming ...

An assessment of marine turtle population status and conservation in Cambodia
Oryx, 2023 Cambodian waters historically supported significant nesting populations of marine turtles up to the early 20th century. However, although fishing and coastal development have intensified, marine turtle conservation has received little recent attention ...

Plastic ingestion by freshwater turtles: a review and call to action
Scientific Reports, 2021 Plastic pollution, and especially plastic ingestion by animals, is a serious global issue. This problem is well documented in marine systems, but it is relatively understudied in freshwater systems.
