Microplastics in Sea Turtles, Marine Mammals and Humans: A One Environmental Health Perspective
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Microplastics are ubiquitous pollutants in the marine environment and a health concern. They are generated directly for commercial purposes or indirectly from the breakdown of larger plastics.

Odors from marine plastic debris elicit foraging behavior in sea turtles.
Current Biology, 2020 Pfaller et al. report that sea turtles respond to odors from biofouled plastic debris with the same behavior that is elicited by food odors, providing a possible unifying explanation for why sea turtles interact with marine plastic.

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021 In-water behaviour and long-term movements of oceanic-stage juvenile sea turtles are not well described or quantified. This is owing to technological or logistical limitations of tracking small, fast-growing animals across long distances and time periods

Density and exposure of surface-pelagic juvenile sea turtles to Deepwater Horizon oil
Endangered Species Research, 2017 The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill posed a severe threat to surface-pelagic sea turtles because the surface convergence zones, which provide vital habitat by aggregating pelagic Sargassum and other floating material, also aggregated floating oil.

First Spatial Distribution Analysis of Male Sea Turtles in the Southern Gulf of Mexico
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 In the Gulf of Mexico, the bulk of published studies for sea turtles have focused on northern (United States) waters where economic resources are centered, with fewer studies in the southern portion of the basin, resulting in significant knowledge gaps ...
