A global review of marine turtle entanglement in anthropogenic debris: a baseline for further action

Endangered Species Research, 2017
Entanglement in anthropogenic debris poses a threat to marine wildlife. Although this is recognised as a cause of marine turtle mortality, there remain quantitative knowledge gaps on entanglement rates and population implications.

Further evidence of Chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) latency: high levels of ChHV5 DNA detected in clinically healthy marine turtles [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
The Chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) has been consistently associated with fibropapillomatosis (FP), a transmissible neoplastic disease of marine turtles. Whether ChHV5 plays a causal role remains debated, partly because while FP tumours have been clearly ...

Two decades of community-based conservation yield valuable insights into marine turtle nesting ecology

Oryx
For the Western Indian Ocean region, there is a significant knowledge gap regarding marine turtle nesting on the continental coast of East Africa. Here we present results from a long-term (2000–2020) community-based monitoring programme in and around ...

Regional management units for marine turtles: a novel framework for prioritizing conservation and research across multiple scales.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundResolving threats to widely distributed marine megafauna requires definition of the geographic distributions of both the threats as well as the population unit(s) of interest.

Marine Turtles as Current Indicators [PDF]

Nature, 1939
IN a letter recently published in NATURE1, my friend Mr. Paul Deraniyagala directed attention to the fact that Kemp's loggerhead turtle, the normal range of which appears to be the Mexican Gulf neighbourhood, occasionally finds its way to the shores of the British Isles; he suggests that: “The possibilities of sea turtles as current indicators would ...
