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 ...

First Atlantic satellite tracks of ‘lost years’ green turtles support the importance of the Sargasso Sea as a sea turtle nursery

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021
In-water behaviour and long-term movements of oceanic-stage juvenile sea turtles are not well described or quantified. This is owing to technological or logistical limitations of tracking small, fast-growing animals across long distances and time periods

Forty years of monitoring increasing sea turtle relative abundance in the Gulf of Mexico

Scientific Reports, 2023
Longitudinal data sets for population abundance are essential for studies of imperiled organisms with long life spans or migratory movements, such as marine turtles.

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 ...

Audience research as a cornerstone of demand management interventions for illegal wildlife products: Demarketing sea turtle meat and eggs

Conservation Science and Practice, 2020
The unsustainable wildmeat trade has been long recognized as a threat to wildlife. Yet, its impact on marine species has been underresearched. Sea turtles have been historically threatened by unsustainable trade, but there are few studies of consumer ...
