Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study introduces validated methods to predict sex ratios in wild Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests. It quantifies beach‐scale temperature heterogeneity, incorporates clutch‐level variation in thermal sensitivity and models temperature effects across the thermosensitive period, demonstrating how temporal temperature dynamics and spatial ...

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study presents the first genomic identification and characterization of ZW sex chromosomes in two soft‐shelled turtle species through genome assembly and resequencing. We reveal the structural organization of ZW chromosomes, identifying both pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) and differentiated regions.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), a keystone species and ecosystem engineer, has declined by ~80% over the past century due to primarily habitat loss. In a 28‐year resurvey of federally protected Mobile County and state‐protected Baldwin County, we found tortoise populations persisted at ~59% and ~31% of sites, respectively, with significant ...

Magnetic features of marine black turtle natal beaches and implications for nest selection [PDF]
Geofísica Internacional, 2008 The beaches of Colola and Maruata, Michoacán, southern México are nesting places of the marine black turtle, Chelonia agassizi. Marine turtles use magnetic cues to orient their long distance navigation, and might also use magnetic such to refine their ...
