To better understand dietary requirements, trophic shifts, and trophic interactions of the
threatened green turtle (Chelonia mydas), we conducted a comprehensive global review …

Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature
life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large …

Feeding ecology of juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) was studied from 2008 to 2011
at Samborombón Bay (35° 30′–36° 30′ S, Argentina), combining data on digestive tract …

Not all individuals in a population use the same subset of dietary and habitat resources.
Patterns of individual specialization have been documented in an increasing number of …

Mangroves and seagrass beds have long been perceived as important nurseries for many
fish species. While there is growing evidence from the Western Atlantic that mangrove …

We describe the temporal and spatial patterns of three tetrapod groups (sea turtles,

taxa than ever before. These data hold the promise to increase the relevance of animal …

The present study combines esophageal lavage (n= 74), stomach content (n= 52) and stable
isotope analysis (n= 126) to understand the ontogenetic dietary shift of green turtles …

Background Tetrapods do not express hydrolases for cellulose and hemicellulose
assimilation, and hence, the independent acquisition of herbivory required the …
