Estuarine ectothermic vertebrates, such as diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin,
Schwartz 1955), inhabit a dynamic environment, and many aspects of their biology reflect …

The diamondback terrapin is the only temperate turtle species that exclusively inhabits
estuarine environments. Morphological, behavioral and physiological features contribute to …

We documented blood biochemistry and haematology of healthy loggerhead turtles (Caretta
caretta) in the Northwest (NW) Atlantic in order to establish clinical reference intervals (RIs) …

Blood biochemical and hematology analyses are helpful indicators of the physiologic health
of animals, particularly when making conservation and management decisions for …

Quantifying health in wild marine turtles is challenging because reptiles have
characteristically wide-ranging normal reference values for many indicators of health and …

Assessments of health variables in wild animal populations have evolved into important
tools for characterizing spatiotemporal population trends and fitness, effects of stressors …

Plasma biochemistry profiles aid health assessment of marine turtles, but knowledge of the
influence of regional biological factors (eg, habitat, diet) on marine turtle blood plasma …

Blood biochemistry represents a minimally invasive tool for monitoring sea turtle health,
assessing injured sea turtles and supporting conservation strategies. In Grenada, West …

Measuring the thermal conditions of aquatic reptiles with temperature dataloggers is a cost-
effective way to study their behavior and habitat use. Temperature dataloggers are a …

Baseline hematologic and plasma biochemical analytes provide insight into wildlife health.
In recent years, blood analytes have been used to infer foraging strategies and nutritional …
