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 ...

Global patterns of illegal marine turtle exploitation

Global Change Biology, 2022
Human exploitation of wildlife for food, medicine, curios, aphrodisiacs, and spiritual artifacts represents a mounting 21st‐century conservation challenge. Here, we provide the first global assessment of illegal marine turtle exploitation across multiple

Forty years of monitoring increasing sea turtle relative abundance in the Gulf of Mexico

Scientific Reports, 2023
Longitudinal data sets for population abundance are essential for studies of imperiled organisms with long life spans or migratory movements, such as marine turtles.

Toward a common approach for assessing the conservation status of marine turtle species within the european marine strategy framework directive

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Environmental policies, including the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), generally rely on the measurement of indicators to assess the good environmental status (GES) and ensure the protection of marine ecosystems. However, depending on

Environmental DNA monitoring of oncogenic viral shedding and genomic profiling of sea turtle fibropapillomatosis reveals unusual viral dynamics

Communications Biology, 2021
Farrell, Duffy and colleagues quantify the viral dynamics of the agent causing sea turtle fibropapillomatosis tumors. Environmental shedding and cellular dynamics are examined, demonstrating that temporal shedding dynamics and tumor burden are correlated.

Dietary analysis of two sympatric marine turtle species in the eastern Mediterranean

Marine Biology, 2021
Dietary studies provide key insights into threats and changes within ecosystems and subsequent impacts on focal species. Diet is particularly challenging to study within marine environments and therefore is often poorly understood.

Covid-19-derived plastic debris contaminating marine ecosystem: Alert from a sea turtle

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
On 10 August 2021, a face mask (14 cm × 9 cm) was found in the feces of a juvenile green turtle, by-caught alive in a set net off the northeast coast of Japan.

Global Conservation Priorities for Marine Turtles [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Where conservation resources are limited and conservation targets are diverse, robust yet flexible priority-setting frameworks are vital. Priority-setting is especially important for geographically widespread species with distinct populations subject to multiple threats that operate on different spatial and temporal scales.

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.

Island-finding ability of marine turtles [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003
Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) swim from foraging grounds along the Brazilian coast to Ascension Island to nest, over 2200 km distant in the middle of the equatorial Atlantic. To test the hypothesis that turtles use wind-borne cues to locate Ascension Island we found turtles that had just completed nesting and then moved three individuals 50 km ...
