On-board study of gas embolism in marine turtles caught in bottom trawl fisheries in the Atlantic Ocean. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
Decompression sickness (DCS) was first diagnosed in marine turtles in 2014. After capture in net fisheries, animals typically start showing clinical evidence of DCS hours after being hauled on-board, often dying if untreated.

Multiple Blastocystis subtypes in Mediterranean marine turtles and cetaceans by amplicon-based NGS [PDF]

Food and Waterborne Parasitology
Blastocystis is a genetically diverse enteric protist commonly found in humans and a wide range of vertebrate hosts. Although its prevalence and subtype (ST) distribution have been extensively studied in terrestrial ecosystems, its occurrence in marine ...

Two turtles with soft tissue preservation from the platy limestones of Germany provide evidence for marine flipper adaptations in Late Jurassic thalassochelydians.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Late Jurassic deposits across Europe have yielded a rich fauna of extinct turtles. Although many of these turtles are recovered from marine deposits, it is unclear which of these taxa are habitually marine and which may be riverine species washed into ...

Prionochelys matutina Zangerl, 1953 (Testudines: Pan-Cheloniidae) from the Late Cretaceous of the United States and the evolution of epithecal ossifications in marine turtles [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Many neritic to nearshore species of marine adapted turtle from the Late Cretaceous of North America are thought to represent the stem lineage of Cheloniidae but due to fragmentary holotypes, low total specimen counts, and resultantly ...
