Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2004
Following the overexploitation of sea turtle populations, conservation measures are now in place in many areas. However, the overall impact of these measures is often unknown because there are few long time-series showing trends in population sizes. In a recent paper, George Balazs and Milani Chaloupka chart the number of green turtles Chelonia mydas ...

Energetics of swimming of a sea turtle
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1976ABSTRACT Young (mean mass 735 g) green turtles (Chelonia my das) were able to swim in a water channel at sustained speeds between 0·14 and 0·35 m.s−1. Oxygen consumption at rest was 0·07kg−1. h−1; at maximum swimming speed oxygen consumption was 3–4 times greater than at rest for a given individual.

The ‘lost year’ of the sea turtle
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1988The extent to which the vagaries of the history of biology have influenced subsequent developments is often surprising. In particular, the early dichotomies between individual fields of enquiry have sometimes led to the disregard of important biological phenomena.
