Rapid growth in Late Cretaceous sea turtles reveals life history strategies similar to extant leatherbacks [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Modern sea turtle long bone osteohistology has been surprisingly well-studied, as it is used to understand sea turtle growth and the timing of life history events, thus informing conservation decisions.

Microbial composition of carapace, feces, and water column in captive juvenile green sea turtles with carapacial ulcers

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
IntroductionGreen sea turtles are endangered marine reptiles. Carapacial ulcers will develop on juvenile green sea turtles during artificial rescue, seriously affecting their health and potentially leading to death.MethodsTo determine the pathogens ...

A dataset of sea turtle occurrences around the Taiwan coast [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022
We describe a dataset of sea turtle sightings around the coast of Taiwan and its islands (Hoh and Fong 2022). This data collection was initiated by TurtleSpot Taiwan, a citizen-science project that collects sea turtle sighting data. This dataset includes

Sex ratio estimations of loggerhead marine turtle hatchlings by incubation duration and nest temperature at Sirte beaches (Libya)

Scientia Marina, 2013
Hatchling sex ratios in loggerhead marine turtles (Caretta caretta) were estimated on the beaches near Sirte (Libya), using two methods: incubation duration and nest mean temperature during the middle third of the incubation period.

First multicenter coprological survey on helminth parasite communities of free-living loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Adriatic Sea and Northern Ionian Sea

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
The prevalence of endoparasite infections in 83 free-living specimens of Caretta caretta, classified as vulnerable species, from the Adriatic Sea and Northern Ionian Sea was investigated by coprological examination.

Multi-Injection Pharmacokinetics of Meloxicam in Kemp’s Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) and Green (Chelonia mydas) Sea Turtles after Subcutaneous Administration

Animals, 2021
The objective of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetics and safety of multiple injections of meloxicam (MLX) administered subcutaneously (SQ) in Kemp’s ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles. Based on results from a

Variation in age and size at sexual maturity in Kemp’s ridley sea turtles

Endangered Species Research, 2014
Age at sexual maturity (AgeSM) is one of the most serious demographic data gaps for sea turtle populations. Better estimates of AgeSM and associated variance would improve evaluation of population dynamics and responses of populations to disturbances and

Evaluation of scute thickness to infer life history records in the carapace of green and loggerhead turtles

Endangered Species Research, 2014
Use of scute in biochemical studies to infer ontogenetic changes of habitat and diet in sea turtles is becoming more frequent because scute is an inert tissue with continuous growth that can record habitat and diet changes through time.
