To nest or not to nest: environmental cues for olive ridley mass nesting events in Odisha, India

bioRxiv
Sea turtles of the genus Lepidochelys take part in synchronised nesting events, known as arribadas, where a large number of females emerge simultaneously from the sea to nest on the beach.

Phosphorylation induces altered protonation states and allosterically regulates Rac1–RhoGDI complex

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Rho GTPases, critical for cellular functions like motility, are sequestered in an inactive GDP‐bound state by RhoGDI. While site‐specific RhoGDI phosphorylation is known to trigger selective GTPase release, the precise mechanisms remain elusive.

Are thermal barriers "higher" in deep sea turtle nests?

PLoS ONE, 2017
Thermal tolerances are affected by the range of temperatures that species encounter in their habitat. Daniel Janzen hypothesized in his "Why mountain passes are higher in the tropics" that temperature gradients were effective barriers to animal movements

An update on female sizes and body condition of nesting olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) in La Escobilla Beach Sanctuary, Mexico

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research
Body condition (BC) can affect the reproductive output and hatchling survival of nesting olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea). However, little is known about the BC of nesting females during the arrival event at nesting sites.

Heavy metal contaminants in eggs and hatchlings of olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) at a mass nesting rookery in India

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science
Heavy metal pollution has emerged as a prominent threat in recent times with high metal levels widely reported in species across ecosystems. The threat of rapid biomagnification is particularly enhanced in species such as olive ridley turtles, which ...

The persistence of the Striped Hyena Hyaena hyaena Linnaeus, 1758 (Mammalia: Carnivora: Hyaenidae) as a predator of Olive Ridley Sea Turtle Lepidochelys olivacea Eschscholtz, 1829 (Reptilia: Testudines: Cheloniidae) eggs

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
A few records of the Striped Hyena Hyaena hyaena, a Near Threatened species, suggest that it can survive along coasts, preying on intertidal fauna.  This record updates earlier information about the presence of the Striped Hyena preying on the Rushikulya

Olive Ridley Mass Nesting Ecology and Egg Harvest at Ostional Beach, Costa Rica

Chelonian Conservation and Biology, 2012
Abstract The olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), a species listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as vulnerable, is characterized by its mass-nesting behavior, also known as arribada. For decades, this phenomenon has facilitated the utilization of this species by coastal communities, much of it illegally.
