Sea Turtle Migrations
Sea turtles are slow-maturing animals that are known to make long transoceanic migrations, even returning back to their natal beaches. However, until very recently, the only knowledge of these journeys was available through the tracking of flipper tags when mature females ventured onto land to nest. Conservation organizations and governments have been monitoring these species for a number of ye...

متن کاملGlobal sea turtle conservation successes
We document a tendency for published estimates of population size in sea turtles to be increasing rather than decreasing across the globe. To examine the population status of the seven species of sea turtle globally, we obtained 299 time series of annual nesting abundance with a total of 4417 annual estimates. The time series ranged in length from 6 to 47 years (mean, 16.2 years). When levels o...
متن کاملEnergetics of swimming of a sea turtle.
Young (mean mass 735 g) green turtles (Chelonia mydas) were able to swim in a water channel at sustained speeds between 0-14 and 0-35 m.s-1. Oxygen consumption at rest was was 0-07 l.kg-1.h-1; at maximum swimming speed oxygen consumption was 3-4 times greater than at rest for a given individual. In comparison with other animals of the same body mass the cost of transport for the green turtle (0...
متن کاملGas Exchange in the Loggerhead Sea Turtle
Pulmonary CO diffusion capacity ( D L C O ) , lung volume (VL), oxygen uptake (Vo ) and pulmonary blood flow (QL) were measured simultaneously in the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta (Linnaeus) (8—11 kg) using a gas rebreathing technique (syringe pump ventilation). Calculated D L C O and Vo values in the loggerhead turtle are approximately twice those of non-varanid reptiles and about 25 %...
