The Biology of Basking in the Green Turtle (chelonia Mydas)
The green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is the only species of marine turtle known to atmospheric bask, whereby large numbers of turtles remain hauled out on shore. Historic records indicate that basking was once a common phenomenon, yet coastal development may have reduced basking populations to only a few remote areas worldwide. Our study aims to determine physiological roles that this behavior fus...
متن کاملBasking Behavior of the Hawaiian Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas)l
Observations were made on green turtles basking on the white sand beaches at French Frigate Shoals in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The highest rectal temperature recorded from the basking turtles was 31.3°C, but the surface temperature of the carapace attained values as great as 42.8°C. During basking, the turtles flipped sand onto their carapaces, but they did not appear to orientate the...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Electrolyte Excretion in the Green Turtle, Chelonia Mydas Mydas.
Except for the brief period of egg-laying, five species of turtle are strictly marine: namely, the green turtle (Chelonia mydas), the loggerhead turtle (Caretta carettd), Ridley's turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), the hawksbill turtle (L. imbricatd) and the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). Reptiles in the sea, like marine fish and marine birds, have a high intake of electrolytes; yet, a...
متن کاملEvaluation of density-dependent processes and green turtle Chelonia mydas hatchling production at Tortuguero, Costa Rica
The role of density-dependent processes in sea turtle populations remains largely unknown. This study quantified density-dependent and density-independent processes that underlie hatchling production in the green turtle nesting population at Tortuguero, Costa Rica, and estimated current mean hatchling output and potential carrying capacity of Tortuguero beach for hatchlings and nesting females....
متن کاملGreen turtle (Chelonia mydas) genetic diversity at Paranaguá Estuarine Complex feeding grounds in Brazil
Sea turtles are marine reptiles that undertake long migrations through their life, with limited information regarding juvenile stages. Feeding grounds (FGs), where they spend most of their lives, are composed by individuals from different natal origins, known as mixed stock populations. The aim of this study was to assess genetic composition, natal origins and demographic history of juvenile gr...
