The effects of sea turtle and other marine megafauna consumption in northeastern Madagascar

Ecosystems and People, 2021
Sea turtles are essential to the health of marine ecosystems, yet nearly 90% are threatened with extinction. The unsustainable consumption of sea turtles contributes to their global decline.

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

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.

Global sea turtle conservation successes

Science Advances, 2017
Many sea turtle populations are recovering, highlighting the value of conservation efforts and long-term monitoring. We document a tendency for published estimates of population size in sea turtles to be increasing rather than decreasing across the globe.

Reducing Sea Turtle Bycatch in the Mediterranean Mixed Demersal Fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
The sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is the most common sea turtle in the Mediterranean, where incidental catches due to fishing activities are considered the main threat to its conservation.

Nest-to-Surf Mortality of Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta) Hatchlings on Florida’s East Coast

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Sea turtles are vulnerable immediately after emerging from nests and before they reach the surf. Mortality rates during this brief period are largely unknown. Many sea turtle monitoring programs measure hatchling production from nest inventories.

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

Quantifying Illegal Extraction of Sea Turtles in Costa Rica

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
Estimates of illegal wildlife trade vary significantly and are often based on incomplete datasets, inferences from CITES permits or customs seizures.
