Shifting thermal tolerance windows throughout incubation affects sea turtle hatching success: implications for hatchery management and conservation Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-13
Abstract Thermal conditions in the nest affect the development of sea turtle clutches, with high temperatures potentially reducing reproductive success and the quality of hatchlings. In a warming climate, increasing temperatures could become a threat to sea turtles in many locations. This has prompted the implementation or recommendation of climate mitigation strategies in nests that incubate in hatchery

Unveiling loggerhead turtles size decline at a major Brazilian nesting ground Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-12
Abstract Brazil’s second-largest reproductive colony of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) has a long history of overexploitation, with its temporal ecological dynamics still unknown. This study investigates changes in the average size of females and post-maturity somatic growth rates in marked and recaptured loggerhead turtles at a breeding site over a 33-year period (1982–2014). Loggerhead curved

The foraging ecology of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in New Caledonia Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-23
Abstract Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) face many threats from anthropogenic activity and are listed as Endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. They spend the majority of their lives in coastal foraging areas, and show strong fidelity to narrow foraging ranges. Understanding the foraging ecology of green turtles is therefore important

Presence of microplastic in target species of small scale fisheries and possible social implications on the local communities Mar. Biol. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-22
Abstract Microplastic ingestion by marine fishes has been of particular interest, as many species are the target of commercial fisheries and, thus, have a strong connection with human health. Consumption of microplastic thru seafood is likely to have harmful effects on people globally but mainly on social groups that highly depend on fisheries for self-consumption. Here, we first aim to characterize

Abstract Lice of the family Echinophthiriidae are obligate and permanent ectoparasites of pinnipeds and sea otters. Morphological, ecological, and behavioral adaptations have enabled them to survive in their amphibian hosts. However, it has been shown experimentally that the eggs do not survive submerged. This physiological limitation restricts their reproductive events to the terrestrial periods of
