Characterisation of the Gastrointestinal Microbiome of Green Sea Turtles (Chelonia mydas): A Systematic Review [PDF]

Animals
The gut microbiome of sea turtles is essential for their ecological resilience and adaptation to environmental stressors. We hypothesised that different gut microbial profiles existed between green sea turtles kept in captivity and those in the wild. The

Development of a non-invasive heart rate measurement method for sea turtles with dense keratinous scutes through effective electrode placement [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
Measuring the heart rate of sea turtles is important for understanding their physiological adaptations to the environment. Non-invasive methods to measure the electrocardiogram (ECG) of sea turtles have been developed by attaching electrodes to their ...

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 ...

Rapid authenticity testing of artificially bred green turtles (Chelonia mydas) using microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Sea turtles are threatened by climate change and human activity, and their global populations continue to decline sharply. The Chinese government encourages artificial breeding of sea turtles to reduce the use of wild populations.

First evidence of underwater vocalizations in green sea turtles Chelonia mydas

Endangered Species Research, 2022
Marine turtles have long been considered to be silent, but few investigations have been performed to confirm such muteness. However, recent studies on the aerial and underwater hearing abilities of marine turtles have shown they have an ability to ...
