Ecological regime shift drives declining growth rates of sea turtles throughout the West Atlantic.
Somatic growth is an integrated, individual-based response to environmental conditions, especially in ectotherms. Growth dynamics of large, mobile animals are particularly useful as bio-indicators of environmental change at regional scales. We assembled growth rate data from throughout the West Atlantic for green turtles, Chelonia mydas, which are long-lived, highly migratory, primarily herbivo...
متن کاملHigh rates of growth recorded for hawksbill sea turtles in Anegada, British Virgin Islands
Management of species of conservation concern requires knowledge of demographic parameters, such as rates of recruitment, survival, and growth. In the Caribbean, hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) have been historically exploited in huge numbers to satisfy trade in their shells and meat. In the present study, we estimated growth rate of juvenile hawksbill turtles around Anegada, British...
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 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 کاملTemporal, spatial, and body size effects on growth rates of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Northwest Atlantic
In response to a call from the US National Research Council for research programs to combine their data to improve sea turtle population assessments, we analyzed somatic growth data for Northwest Atlantic (NWA) loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from 10 research programs. We assessed growth dynamics over wide ranges of geography (9–33 N latitude), time (1978–2012), and body size (35.4–103...
