Diet of the Kemps ridley sea turtle , Lepidochelys kempii , in New York waters
A review of previous studies on Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) diet was combined with information on the diet of the species in the coastal waters of New York State. Juvenile Kemp's ridleys occupy coastal Long Island, New York waters during the summer and early autumn months. Both fecal and intestinal samples collected between 1985 and 1989 were analyzed to obtain information on...
متن کاملOlive Ridley Sea Turtle Hatching Success as a Function of the Microbial Abundance in Nest Sand at Ostional, Costa Rica
Several studies have suggested that significant embryo mortality is caused by microbes, while high microbial loads are generated by the decomposition of eggs broken by later nesting turtles. This occurs commonly when nesting density is high, especially during mass nesting events (arribadas). However, no previous research has directly quantified microbial abundance and the associated effects on ...
متن کاملThe Pacific-Atlantic Sea Turtle Assessment Project (PASTA): Bringing Disciplines Together to Evaluate the Causes of Sea Turtle Decline
Project Concepts Our project is unique in our effort to combine the ideas and draw upon the expertise of scientists from a number of different disciplines: sea turtle biology and physiology, population dynamics, fisheries science, and oceanography. Our project has already generated multiple new theories regarding the causes of sea turtle declines and the role of pelagic fisheries in those decli...
متن کاملUsing Satellite Tracking to Optimize Protection of Long-Lived Marine Species: Olive Ridley Sea Turtle Conservation in Central Africa
Tractable conservation measures for long-lived species require the intersection between protection of biologically relevant life history stages and a socioeconomically feasible setting. To protect breeding adults, we require knowledge of animal movements, how movement relates to political boundaries, and our confidence in spatial analyses of movement. We used satellite tracking and a switching ...
متن کاملAssessment of ground transportation stress in juvenile Kemp’s ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii)
Sea turtle rehabilitation centres frequently transport sea turtles for long distances to move animals between centres or to release them at beaches, yet there is little information on the possible effects of transportation-related stress ('transport stress') on sea turtles. To assess whether transport stress is a clinically relevant concern for endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys...
