Fidelity and over-wintering of sea turtles.
While fidelity to breeding sites is well demonstrated in marine turtles, emerging knowledge of migratory routes and key foraging sites is of limited conservation value unless levels of fidelity can be established. We tracked green (Chelonia mydas, n=10) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta, n=10) turtles during their post-nesting migration from the island of Cyprus to their foraging grounds. After i...
متن کاملSea turtles
their disciplines, it seemed a possibly useful contribution to write a book that would draw from all the relevant disciplines about the past, from primatology to historical linguistics, with genetics as the common thread to weave all these findings together into a coherent narrative. I was amazed at how much detail can now be filled in on the largely blank pages of human prehistory extending fr...
متن کاملSite fidelity and homing behavior in juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta)
To investigate site fidelity and homing behavior in juvenile loggerheads (Caretta caretta, L.), a markrecapture study spanning four years (1998–2001) was conducted in Core Sound, N.C., USA. Each year of the study, approximately half of the turtles captured were tagged and released near the capture sites (n=207), while the remaining turtles were displaced 15–20 km and released (n=198). Loggerhea...
متن کاملCancer in sea turtles.
Sea Turtles Sea turtles are one of the oldest extant groups of animals, and they have changed little in basic anatomy for millions of years. Sea turtles are found throughout the world, and depending on the species, range from warm tropical water to frigid oceans near the arctic. They can be herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores and can be quite large. For example, the largest species of sea turt...
متن کاملPopulation genetics and phylogeography of sea turtles.
The seven species of sea turtles occupy a diversity of niches, and have a history tracing back over 100 million years, yet all share basic life-history features, including exceptional navigation skills and periodic migrations from feeding to breeding habitats. Here, we review the biogeographic, behavioural, and ecological factors that shape the distribution of genetic diversity in sea turtles. ...
