Natal foraging philopatry in eastern Pacific hawksbill turtles [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2017
The complex processes involved with animal migration have long been a subject of biological interest, and broad-scale movement patterns of many marine turtle populations still remain unresolved.

Turtle riders: remoras on marine turtles in Southwest Atlantic [PDF]

open access: yesNeotropical 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

open access: yesAnnual 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.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

The marine turtles of Belize [PDF]

open access: yesOryx, 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.

Habitat Use and Behavior of Multiple Species of Marine Turtles at a Foraging Area in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Multi-species conservation strategies can be useful to maximize allocation of resources. To effectively plan for multi-species management practices, it is important to have a robust understanding of the variability in the spatial and behavioral ecology ...

Anatomy of Rhinochelys pulchriceps (Protostegidae) and marine adaptation during the early evolution of chelonioids [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Knowledge of the early evolution of sea turtles (Chelonioidea) has been limited by conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses resulting from sparse taxon sampling and a superficial understanding of the morphology of key taxa.

Increase of nesting habitat suitability for green turtles in a warming Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Climate change is reshaping global ecosystems at an unprecedented rate, with major impacts on biodiversity. Therefore, understanding how organisms can withstand change is key to identify priority conservation objectives.

Climate change and marine turtles [PDF]

open access: yesEndangered 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
