Opportunism on the High Seas: Foraging Ecology of Olive Ridley Turtles in the Eastern Pacific Ocean
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Stable isotopic compositions in animal tissues have been widely used to gain insight into trophic dynamics, especially of mobile aquatic predators whose behavior and dietary preferences are difficult to directly measure.

Isolation by environment in the highly mobile olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) in the eastern Pacific. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2018 Spatial and temporal scales at which processes modulate genetic diversity over the landscape are usually overlooked, impacting the design of conservation management practices for widely distributed species. We examine processes shaping population divergence in highly mobile species by re-assessing the case of panmixia in the iconic olive ridley turtle ...

Using satellite tracking to optimize protection of long-lived marine species: olive ridley sea turtle conservation in Central Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Tractable conservation measures for long-lived species require the intersection between protection of biologically relevant life history stages and a socioeconomically feasible setting. To protect breeding adults, we require knowledge of animal movements,

Temperature Conditions in Artificial Sea Turtle Nests: Toward Optimized Hatchery Management [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionClimate change poses a significant threat to species with temperature‐dependent sex determination, such as sea turtles. Their conservation often involves relocating nests to hatcheries, which is also crucial on the Pacific coast of Guatemala, where ...

Finding of a two-headed green turtle embryo during nest monitoring in Baa Atoll, Maldives
Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2021 Green sea turtles are one of the two species of marine turtles known to nest in the Maldives. The prevalent time of nesting seems to be inconsistent throughout the island nation.
