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 ...

Changes in dive patterns of leatherback turtles with sea surface temperature and potential foraging habitats

Ecosphere, 2021
Marine mesotherms are able to occupy broader thermal niches than ectotherms; however, this means they must thermoregulate according to diverse thermal conditions across the ocean.

Phylogeny, biogeography and methodology: a meta-analytic perspective on heterogeneity in adult marine turtle survival rates. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2018
Comparative syntheses of key demographic parameters are critical not only for identifying data gaps, but also for evaluating sources of heterogeneity among estimates.

The effects of sea turtle and other marine megafauna consumption in northeastern Madagascar

Ecosystems and People, 2021
Sea turtles are essential to the health of marine ecosystems, yet nearly 90% are threatened with extinction. The unsustainable consumption of sea turtles contributes to their global decline.

A Global Analysis of Anthropogenic Development of Marine Turtle Nesting Beaches

Remote Sensing, 2020
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that sea levels will rise by up to 0.82 m in the next 100 years. In natural systems, coastlines would migrate landwards, but because most of the world’s human population occupies the coast ...

Long-term insights into marine turtle sightings, strandings and captures around the UK and Ireland (1910–2018)

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2020
With over a century of records, we present a detailed analysis of the spatial and temporal occurrence of marine turtle sightings and strandings in the UK and Ireland between 1910 and 2018.

Mitochondrial DNA markers of loggerhead marine turtles (Caretta caretta) (Testudines: Cheloniidae) nesting at Kyparissia Bay, Greece, confirm the western Greece unit and regional structuring

Scientia Marina, 2014
Genetic markers have been widely used in marine turtles to assess population structuring and origin of individuals in common feeding grounds, which are key elements for understanding their ecology and for developing conservation strategies.

Ocean highways in the Western Mediterranean: Which are the areas with increased exposure to maritime traffic for loggerhead turtles?

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Many marine megafauna taxa are tied to the sea surface for breathing which makes them vulnerable to vessel collisions. Sea turtles have developed efficient mechanisms to reduce surface time for breathing to a few seconds, but they can extend their ...

Long‐term trends in marine turtle size at maturity at an important Atlantic rookery

Ecosphere, 2021
For species reaching maturity at a range of ages or sizes, factors that influence juvenile growth and size at maturity may have lasting impacts on overall fitness.
