Migraciones de las tortugas marinas
La separación geográfica entre los hábitats para la alimenta-ción, el refugio y la reproducción de las tortugas marinas ha-ce que éstas realicen migraciones extensas.Para estudiar este fenómeno,se han utilizado análisis genéticos,marcaje y tele-metría,y

Does depth divide? Variable genetic connectivity patterns among shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa coral populations across the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean. [PDF]
We assessed the population genetic connectivity of shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa corals using a 2bRAD sequencing approach across the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean. We found that there was generally significant genetic structuring between shallow and mesophotic depth zones and between the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean ...

Simulating drifting fish aggregating device trajectories to identify potential interactions with endangered sea turtles. [PDF]
Abstract Purse‐seine fishers using drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), mainly built with bamboo, plastic buoys, and plastic netting, to aggregate and catch tropical tuna, deploy 46,000–65,000 dFADs per year in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the major concerns associated with this widespread fishing device are potential entanglement of sea turtles ...

Temperature Conditions in Artificial Sea Turtle Nests: Toward Optimized Hatchery Management. [PDF]
This study examined how environmental and management factors, such as wall distance and egg numbers, influence nest temperatures of Olive Ridley sea turtles in a hatchery on the Pacific coast of Guatemala. ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to species with temperature‐dependent sex determination, such as sea turtles.

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at-sea anthropogenic threats. [PDF]
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

A Seascape Genomics Perspective on Restrictive Genetic Connectivity Overcoming Signals of Local Adaptations in the Green Abalone (Haliotis fulgens) of the California Current System. [PDF]
The green abalone exhibits a distinctive neutral genetic structuring influenced by geographic distance and marine currents rather than local adaptations. Analyses using 1900 neutral and 17 putative outlier SNPs revealed three distinct populations: the North group (California to Ensenada, Baja California), a population on Guadalupe Island, and the South

Incorporating cyclone risk in the design of marine protected and conserved areas as an ecosystem-based adaptation approach. [PDF]
Abstract Marine protected and conserved areas (MPCAs) are promoted as an ecosystem‐based adaptation (EbA) approach to increase community and ecosystem resilience to climate change. However, traditional approaches to MPCA design typically do not consider climate risk or habitat condition under a climate threat.

Fibropapilomatosis en tortugas marinas:
Como partícipes de ecosistemas, las tortugas marinas se enfrentan a una amplia gama de factores ambientales y de origen antropogénico que pueden ocasionarles daños, lesiones, enfermedades y en casos graves, la muerte.

Tortugas (Testudinata) marinas y continentales de Colombia
Durante los últimos trescientos años, diferentes clasificaciones naturales han sido propuestas para las tortugas. En la primera, presentada en 1766, Linnaeus agrupó lasespecies hasta entonces conocidas en el género Testudo.
