Marine turtle regional management units 2.0: an updated framework for conservation and research of wide-ranging megafauna species

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2023
Delineating spatial boundaries that accurately encompass complex, often cryptic, life histories of highly migratory marine megafauna can be a significant conservation challenge. For example, marine turtles range across vast ocean basins and coastal areas,

Preserved collagen reveals species identity in archaeological marine turtle bones from Caribbean and Florida sites [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2019
Advancements in molecular science are continually improving our knowledge of marine turtle biology and evolution. However, there are still considerable gaps in our understanding, such as past marine turtle distributions, which can benefit from advanced ...

The impact of environmental factors on marine turtle stranding rates. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Globally, tropical and subtropical regions have experienced an increased frequency and intensity in extreme weather events, ranging from severe drought to protracted rain depressions and cyclones, these coincided with an increased number of marine ...

Molecular characterization of a marine turtle tumor epizootic, profiling external, internal and postsurgical regrowth tumors [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications 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]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

A Systematic Review of Acoustic Telemetry as a Tool to Gain Insights Into Marine Turtle Ecology and Aid Their Conservation

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
While widely applied in fisheries science, acoustic telemetry remains an underutilized method in the field of marine turtle biotelemetry. However, with the ability to provide fine-scale spatial data (tens to hundreds of meters, depending on array setup ...

Advances in the Application of Genetics in Marine Turtle Biology and Conservation

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Marine turtles migrate across long distances, exhibit complex life histories, and occupy habitats that are difficult to observe. These factors present substantial challenges to understanding fundamental aspects of their biology or assessing human impacts,

Asmodochelys parhami, a new fossil marine turtle from the Campanian Demopolis Chalk and the stratigraphic congruence of competing marine turtle phylogenies. [PDF]

open access: yesR Soc Open Sci, 2019
Resolving the phylogeny of sea turtles is uniquely challenging given the high potential for the unification of convergent lineages due to systematic homoplasy. Equivocal reconstructions of marine turtle evolution subsequently inhibit efforts to establish

Priorities for Mediterranean marine turtle conservation and management in the face of climate change.

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Management, 2023
As climate-related impacts threaten marine biodiversity globally, it is important to adjust conservation efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Beach erosion aggravates the drastic decline in marine turtle populations in French Guiana

open access: yesRegional Environmental Change, 2023
Yalimapo beach, near the Maroni River estuary in French Guiana, is an important turtle nesting site. The interaction of massive mud banks migrating alongshore from the distant Amazon River with discharge from the Maroni River generates strong beach ...
