Interaction Between Age and Individual Heterogeneity Shapes Breeding Probability in a Long‐Lived Marine Ectotherm

Ecology and Evolution
In iteroparous species, reproductive skipping is generally considered an adaptive strategy. Non‐breeding individuals should have a greater annual survival probability and retain greater future reproductive potential.

First detailed morphological description of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) caught from the Yellow Sea of Korea

Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2014
To date, no study has reported detailed morphological characteristics of Korean sea turtles. Due to the lack of such basic information on Korean sea turtles, further related studies have been difficult in South Korea.

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

The influence of circadian variables on ecotoxicology metabolomics

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecotoxicologists are using metabolomics increasingly to gain insight into toxicological mechanisms and sublethal effects of chemical exposures. Metabolomics offers a sensitive multi‐parameter approach that can detect biochemical responses not obvious using apical and behavioural endpoints.

Kemp’s ridley Lepidochelys kempii nesting abundance in Texas, USA: a novel approach using genetics to improve population census

Endangered Species Research, 2014
Accurate estimates of the annual numbers of nesting females are critical for assessing sea turtle populations. Nesting by Kemp’s ridley Lepidochelys kempii turtles has significantly increased at Padre Island National Seashore and nearby beaches in Texas,
