Climate change and marine turtles [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2009
Marine turtles occupy a wide range of terrestrial and marine habitats, and many aspects of their life history have been demonstrated to be closely tied to climatic variables such as ambient temperature and storminess. As a group, therefore, marine turtles may be good indicators of climate change effects on coastal and marine habitats. Despite the small

A density surface model describing the habitat of the Critically Endangered Rice’s whale Balaenoptera ricei in the Gulf of Mexico

Endangered Species Research
The newly recognized Rice’s whale Balaenoptera ricei is among the most endangered large whale species in the world and primarily occupies a region near the continental shelf break in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (GoMex).

The effect of biologging systems on reproduction, growth and survival of adult sea turtles

Movement Ecology, 2019
Background Telemetry and biologging systems, ‘tracking’ hereafter, have been instrumental in meeting the challenges associated with studying the ecology and behaviour of cryptic, wide-ranging marine mega-vertebrates.

A long-term decline in the abundance of endangered leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, at a foraging ground in the California Current Ecosystem

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Pacific leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are critically endangered, and declines have been documented at multiple nesting sites throughout the Pacific. The western Pacific leatherback forages in temperate and tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific

Fibropapillomatosis of marine turtles

Annual Review of Fish Diseases, 1994
Abstract Cutaneous fibropapillomatosis in green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas (GTFP), was first reported over 50 years ago. In the last decade, GTFP has emerged as a significant worldwide epizootic with prevalences as high as 92% in some green turtle populations.

The effects of vessel speed and size on the lethality of strikes of large whales in U.S. waters

Frontiers in Marine Science
Vessel strikes are a substantial source of mortality for large whales worldwide and may pose conservation threats for small populations. Model-based estimates of mortality rates, which inform management strategies to reduce vessel strike mortality ...

Marine mammals and sea turtles listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act are recovering.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a powerful environmental law protecting imperiled plants and animals, and a growing number of marine species have been protected under this law as extinction risk in the oceans has increased.

Effects of Variability in Ship Traffic and Whale Distributions on the Risk of Ships Striking Whales

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Assessments of ship-strike risk for large whales typically use a single year of ship traffic data and averaged predictions of species distributions. Consequently, they do not account for variability in ship traffic or species distributions.

Editorial: Marine turtles

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
Marine turtles are vital to marine ecosystems, serving as indicators of ocean health and contributing to the ecological balance of marine habitats (Aguirre and Lutz, 2004). However, the Anthropocene has introduced a multitude of human-induced stressors on natural systems, necessitating innovative solutions to mitigate these impacts (Davenport, 2024 ...
