To address a major knowledge gap for flatback sea turtles (Natator depressus), a species endemic to Australia and considered ‘Data Deficient’ for IUCN Red List assessment, we present the first-ever skeletochronology-derived age and growth rate estimates for this species. Using a rare collection of bone samples gathered…

'Colin J. Limpus' 'Eric Wolanski' 'Mark Hamann'] The ability of individuals to actively control their movements, especially during the early life stages, can significantly influence the distribution of their population. Most marine turtle species develop oceanic foraging habitats during different life stages. However…

'Marcel Klaassen' 'Richard D. Reina'] The microbiota is considered critical for normal vertebrate homeostasis and it may exert its effects at a local level within the gastrointestinal tract, or systemically through the production of bacterial metabolites. To date, investigations into the role that the microbiota plays…

— For over hundreds of millions of years, sea turtles and their ancestors have swum in the vast expanses of the ocean. They have undergone a number of evolutionary changes, leading to speciation and sub-speciation. However, in the past few decades, some of the most notable forces driving the genetic variance and…

'Shahrul Anuar Mohd Sah' 'Jesse Grismer'] Simple Summary Turtles are threatened all over the world. Malaysia has 24 species of turtles. This review focuses on current conservation status and some requirements for sustainability. We propose integrating concepts of ecology and molecular biology to provide almost…

'Anton D. Tucker' 'Scott D. Whiting' 'Adrian C. Gleiss'] Title: Abstract Habitat suitability models (HSMs) are popular statistical tools used to inform decision-making for conservation planning, using species location data to characterize species-environment relationships and identify important habitats. Suitable…

'Scott D. Whiting' 'Renae N. Lambourne' 'Nicola J. Armstrong' 'Anton D. Tucker' 'Anthony R. Richardson' 'Adrian C. Gleiss'] Diving behaviour of ‘surfacers' such as sea snakes, cetaceans and turtles is complex and multi-dimensional, thus may be better captured by multi-sensor biologging data. However, analysing these…

The impact of a range of different threats has resulted in the listing of six out of seven sea turtle species on the IUCN Red List of endangered species. Disease risk analysis (DRA) tools are designed to provide objective, repeatable and documented assessment of the disease risks for a population and measures to reduce…

'Nurhartini Kamalia Yahya'] Abstract. Passive biometric identification enables wildlife monitoring with minimal disturbance. Using a motion-activated camera placed at an elevated position and facing downwards, we collected images of sea turtle carapace, each belonging to one of sixteen Chelonia mydas juveniles. We then…

Sea turtle populations are declining and evidence-based methods for supporting their populations are required. Captive breeding and release programs can be effective, offering the opportunity to supplement nature populations; however, sea turtles require specific conditions to successfully breed. Here, we present…

Conservation strategies are urgently needed for tropical turtles. Studies conducted exclusively in the temperate zone have revealed that the suite of life history traits that characterizes turtles and includes delayed sexual maturity and high adult survivorship makes sustainable harvest programs an unviable strategy…

In biological data from allometry studies, the largest eigenvalue is typically dominant, and the gaps between minor eigenvalues are often narrow. Such proximity among small minor eigenvalues can lead to instability in statistics based on their corresponding eigenvectors. This study derives the asymptotic normality of…

Verifying habitats, including the foraging and nesting areas for sea turtles, enables an understanding of their spatial ecology and successful planning of their conservation and management strategies. Recently, the observation frequency and bycatch of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) turtles have…

The unsteady characteristics of the flow over thick flatback airfoils have been investigated by means of CFD calculations. Sandia airfoils which have 35% maximum thickness with three different trailing edge thicknesses were selected. The calculations provided good results compared with available experimental data with…

All sea turtles exhibit temperature-dependent sex-determination, where warmer temperatures produce mostly females and cooler temperatures produce mostly males. As global temperatures continue to rise, sea turtle sex-ratios have become increasingly female-biased, threatening the long-term viability of many populations.…

TURTLE is a C library providing utilities allowing to navigate through a topography described by a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The library has been primarily designed for the Monte Carlo transport of particles scattering over medium to long ranges, e.g. atmospheric muons. But, it can also efficiently handle ray…
