Variability in age and size at maturation, reproductive longevity, and long-term growth dynamics for Kemp's ridley sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico
Effective management of protected sea turtle populations requires knowledge not only of mean values for demographic and life-history parameters, but also temporal and spatial trends, variability, and underlying causes. For endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii), the need for baseline information of this type has been emphasized during attempts to understand causes underlying...
متن کاملDiet of the Kemps ridley sea turtle , Lepidochelys kempii , in New York waters
A review of previous studies on Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) diet was combined with information on the diet of the species in the coastal waters of New York State. Juvenile Kemp's ridleys occupy coastal Long Island, New York waters during the summer and early autumn months. Both fecal and intestinal samples collected between 1985 and 1989 were analyzed to obtain information on...
متن کاملPredicting the distribution of oceanic-stage Kemp's ridley sea turtles.
The inaccessibility of open ocean habitat and the cryptic nature of small animals are fundamental problems when assessing the distribution of oceanic-stage sea turtles and other marine animals sharing similar life-history traits. Most methods that estimate patterns of abundance cannot be applied in situations that are extremely data limited. Here, we use a movement ecology framework to generate...
متن کاملInheritance of Age at Sexual Maturity
Dr. RAYMOND PEARL (1912) was the first worker to suggest that sexlinked factors were involved in the inheritance of fecundity. PEARL used as a measure of fecundity the eggs produced during the winter period. He proposed that two major dominant factors were responsible for high egg production, one of which resided in the sex chromosome. GOODALE (1919) and HURST (1921) each failed to confirm the ...
متن کامل: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type
abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...
