We generated high quality blood transcriptome assemblies for hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), loggerhead (Caretta caretta), green (Chelonia mydas), and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles.
In this study, we fitted 18 green turtles (Chelonia mydas) with detachable time-depth recorder (systems to obtain and analyze fine-scale dive behavior and daily activity – with a focus on resting dive bouts.
The present study compares trace element concentrations in green turtles in captivity at Sea Life Park Hawaii to wild green turtles in Kapoho Bay, Hawaii, USA.
We asses the persistent organic pollutants in green turtle populations in the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge and San Diego Bay to understand the contamination risks for these populations.
Urban coastal ecosystems are unique intersections of human development and biodiversity, and monitoring populations in these areas is critical to understanding ecosystem health and function.
We assessed 21 trace metals in green turtle scute and red blood cell samples collected find evidence that green turtle TM concentrations can differ between urbanized habitats and that long-term monitoring of these green turtles may be necessary.
We estimate sea turtle densities, and describe trends based on sea turtle observations from 13 years of towed-diver surveys covering 7,300+ linear km, and more than 3,400 green and hawksbill sea turtles.
