The effects of microplastic on the thermal profile of sand: implications for marine turtle nesting grounds

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Introduction Microplastics (i.e., plastic debris smaller than 5mm) found in coastal areas can impact the marine habitat used by endangered species since they may alter sand properties including temperature and permeability.

A global review of marine turtle entanglement in anthropogenic debris: a baseline for further action

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2017
Entanglement in anthropogenic debris poses a threat to marine wildlife. Although this is recognised as a cause of marine turtle mortality, there remain quantitative knowledge gaps on entanglement rates and population implications.

Exposure of marine turtle nesting grounds to coastal modifications: Implications for management

Ocean and Coastal Management, 2019
Coastal areas are used by both marine turtles and humans which may result in marine turtle nesting grounds being exposed to human activities like coastal modifications.

Marine turtle mortality in a southern Caribbean artisanal fishery: A threat for immature green turtles

, 2020
The impact of artisanal fisheries on marine turtle populations is still understudied in the southern Caribbean. In the Venezuelan Guajira Peninsula, artisanal fishing of marine turtles by the indigenous Wayuu people has occurred for generations ...

Marine turtle mitogenome phylogenetics and evolution

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2012
The sea turtles are a group of cretaceous origin containing seven recognized living species: leatherback, hawksbill, Kemp's ridley, olive ridley, loggerhead, green, and flatback. The leatherback is the single member of the Dermochelidae family, whereas all other sea turtles belong in Cheloniidae.

Cerebral resistance to anoxia in the marine turtle

Respiration Physiology, 1980
The extraordinary ability of the turtle to withstand prolonged anoxia was examined in cerebral cortex in situ by recording changes in the reduction/oxidation ratio of cytochrome a,a3 by reflection spectrophotometry. Inspiration of 100% oxygen increased the oxidation of cytochrome a,a3 beyond that of the air breathing control, suggesting that cytochrome

GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN MARINE TURTLE FIBROPAPILLOMATOSIS

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2005
We document three examples of fibropapillomatosis by histology, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and sequence analysis from three different geographic areas. Tumors compatible in morphology with fibropapillomatosis were seen in green turtles from Puerto Rico and San Diego (California) and in a hybrid loggerhead/ hawksbill turtle from ...

First evidence of polychaete intermediate hosts for Neospirorchis spp. marine turtle blood flukes (Trematoda: Spirorchiidae).

International Journal of Parasitology, 2018
Life cycles of spirorchiids that infect the vascular system of turtles are poorly understood. Few life cycles of these blood flukes have been elucidated and all intermediate hosts reported are gastropods (Mollusca), regardless of whether the definitive ...
