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 کاملHearing in the giant sea turtle, Chelonia mydas.
Measurement were made of the cochlear potentials in three specimens of the giant sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, in response to both aerial and mechanical stimulation of the ear. The results show maximum sensitivity in the region of 300 to 400 Hz, with a rather rapid decline in sensitivity for lower and especially for higher tones. The upper limit for the observation of cochlear potentials without ...
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 کاملImmunological evaluation of captive green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) with ulcerative dermatitis.
Ulcerative dermatitis (UD) is common in captive sea turtles and manifests as skin erosions and ulcers associated with gram-negative bacteria. This study compared clinically healthy and UD-affected captive turtles by evaluating hematology, histopathology, immunoglobulin levels, and delayed-type hypersensitivity assay. Turtles with UD had significantly lower weight, reduced delayed-type hypersens...
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...
