Advances in the Application of Genetics in Marine Turtle Biology and Conservation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Marine turtles migrate across long distances, exhibit complex life histories, and occupy habitats that are difficult to observe. These factors present substantial challenges to understanding fundamental aspects of their biology or assessing human impacts,

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Incongruent long‐term trends of a marine consumer and primary producers in a habitat affected by nutrient pollution

Ecosphere, 2021
Nutrient pollution, defined as excess nitrogen and phosphorus related to human activities, is a widespread anthropogenic impact that decreases water quality and limits light penetration in estuarine habitats.

Citizen-Sourced Sightings and Underwater Photography Reveal Novel Insights About Green Sea Turtle Distribution and Ecology in Southern California

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
East Pacific (EP) green turtles (Chelonia mydas) have undergone substantial population recovery over the last two decades owing to holistic protection at nesting beaches and foraging areas. At the northern end of their range in southern California United
