Green and hawksbill turtle detection and abundance at foraging grounds in Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands

Endangered Species Research, 2023
Abundance estimates corrected for changes in detection are needed to assess population trends. We used transect-count surveys and N-mixture models to estimate green turtle Chelonia mydas and hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata detection and total ...

Environmental DNA monitoring of oncogenic viral shedding and genomic profiling of sea turtle fibropapillomatosis reveals unusual viral dynamics

Communications Biology, 2021
Farrell, Duffy and colleagues quantify the viral dynamics of the agent causing sea turtle fibropapillomatosis tumors. Environmental shedding and cellular dynamics are examined, demonstrating that temporal shedding dynamics and tumor burden are correlated.

Holopelagic Sargassum aggregations provide warmer microhabitats for associated fauna

Scientific Reports, 2023
Drifting aggregations of Sargassum algae provide critical habitat for endemic, endangered, and commercially important species. They may also provide favorable microclimates for associated fauna.

Molecular characterization of a marine turtle tumor epizootic, profiling external, internal and postsurgical regrowth tumors

Communications Biology, 2021
Yetsko, Farrell, Duffy, and colleagues conduct transcriptomic and immunohistological profiling of tumors from sea turtles with fibropapillomatosis. Internal tumors are distinct from more common external tumors, but share some oncogenic signaling pathways

Recent decline of green turtle Chelonia mydas nesting trend at Tortuguero, Costa Rica

Endangered Species Research, 2023
Trends in abundance of different life stages present important opportunities to manage the conservation of threatened species. For marine turtles, most trend assessments are based on long-term monitoring of nesting aggregations, which provides critical ...

Evolutionary Comparisons of Chelonid Alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) Genomes from Fibropapillomatosis-Afflicted Green (Chelonia mydas), Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) and Kemp’s Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) Sea Turtles

Animals, 2021
The spreading global sea turtle fibropapillomatosis (FP) epizootic is threatening some of Earth’s ancient reptiles, adding to the plethora of threats faced by these keystone species.
