Changes in behaviour during the inter-nesting period and post-nesting migration for Ascension Island green turtles
Satellite transmitters were attached to green turtles Chelonia mydas while they were nesting on Ascension Island in the South Atlantic (7"57'S, 14"22'W) and individuals were subsequently monitored during the inter-nesting period and the post-nesting migration to Brazil. During the inter-nesting period, data from the transmitters suggested that turtles generally stayed within 5 km of the nesting...
متن کاملThe study of egg laying habitats and the success rate of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) nesting in the northern coast of Makoran (Sistan and Baluchestan province)
Given the importance of sea turtle nesting beaches on the coast of Sistan and Baluchistan province, this project with the purpose of research and conservation of spawning habitat was conducted in 2018. The coast by the executive team and locals were monitored.Examining the Sistan and Baluchistan province, about 300 km off the coast of northern makoran Sea indicates the existence of 13 important...
متن کاملEstimating the number of green and loggerhead turtles nesting annually in the Mediterranean
Most species of marine turtle breed every loggerhead turtles. The median interval between nesting seasons for green turtles was 3 years, and for loggerhead two or more years and it is the norm for females to lay more than one clutch of eggs within a nesting season. turtles it was 2 years. Utilizing these parameters and available data from other beaches that are monitored Knowing the interval be...
متن کاملGhrelin and leptin modulate the feeding behaviour of the hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata during nesting season
Female sea turtles have rarely been observed foraging during the nesting season. This suggests that prior to their migration to nesting beaches the females must store sufficient energy and nutrients at their foraging grounds and must be physiologically capable of undergoing months without feeding. Leptin (an appetite-suppressing protein) and ghrelin (a hunger-stimulating peptide) affect body we...
