Satellite tracking of rehabilitated sea turtles suggests a high rate of short-term survival following release.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The rehabilitation of wildlife can contribute directly to the conservation of threatened species by helping to maintain wild populations. This study focused on determining the post-rehabilitation survival and spatial ecology of sea turtles and on ...

Immunity in Sea Turtles: Review of a Host-Pathogen Arms Race Millions of Years in the Running

Animals, 2023
The immune system of sea turtles is not completely understood. Sea turtles (as reptiles) bridge a unique evolutionary gap, being ectothermic vertebrates like fish and amphibians and amniotes like birds and mammals.

Antibiotic Resistance of Gram-Negative Bacteria from Wild Captured Loggerhead Sea Turtles

Antibiotics, 2020
Sea turtles have been proposed as health indicators of marine habitats and carriers of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, for their longevity and migratory lifestyle.

Global Decline in the Size of Sea Turtles. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
ABSTRACTChanges in mean adult body size may be a universal response to global warming and sometimes lead to conservation concerns. We show that size reductions in sea turtles are now the norm and have another explanation. From 18,707 measurements of nester size (curve carapace length) for sea turtles spanning 30 years from Redang Island (Malaysia ...

Endoparasites and epibionts of loggerhead and green sea turtles from the eastern Mediterranean, Turkey: A detailed assessment [PDF]

Helminthologia
Two species of sea turtles, the loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and the green turtle (Chelonia mydas), use Turkey's Mediterranean and rarely Aegean Sea coasts for nesting and foraging.

The response of sea turtles to vocalizations opens new perspectives to reduce their bycatch [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Incidental capture of non-target species poses a pervasive threat to many marine species, with sometimes devastating consequences for both fisheries and conservation efforts.

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

Divergent sensory and immune gene evolution in sea turtles with contrasting demographic and life histories

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023
Significance Sea turtle populations have undergone recent global declines. We analyzed de novo assembled genomes for both extant sea turtle families through the Vertebrate Genomes Project to inform their conservation and evolutionary biology.
