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.

Microplastic ingestion ubiquitous in marine turtles [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2018 AbstractDespite concerns regarding the environmental impacts of microplastics, knowledge of the incidence and levels of synthetic particles in large marine vertebrates is lacking. Here, we utilize an optimized enzymatic digestion methodology, previously developed for zooplankton, to explore whether synthetic particles could be isolated from marine ...

Kinematics and energetics of foraging behavior in Rice’s whales of the Gulf of Mexico
Scientific Reports, 2023 Rorqual foraging behavior varies with species, prey type and foraging conditions, and can be a determining factor for their fitness. Little is known about the foraging ecology of Rice’s whales (Balaenoptera ricei), an endangered species with a population

Turtle riders: remoras on marine turtles in Southwest Atlantic [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2006 An overview is presented for a poorly documented relationship between reef vertebrates in Southwest Atlantic: remoras (Echeneidae) associated with marine turtles. Two remora species (Echeneis naucrates and Remora remora) and four turtle species (Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, Eretmochelys imbricata, and Dermochelys coriacea) are here recorded in ...

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 marine turtles of Belize [PDF]
Oryx, 1985 When the author visited Belize in 1983 and 1984 to survey the turtle fauna of that country, to which the Oryx 100% Fund contributed £500, he was able to collect some information on the three marine turtle species that nest on Belize's beaches and forage along the coast.
