A species may partition its realized ecological niche along bionomic and scenopoetic axes
due to intraspecific competition for limited resources. How partitioning manifests depends on …

Simple Summary Sea turtles are susceptible to several herpesviruses that are linked to
dermatologic diseases, including fibropapillomatosis (FP) and lung-eye-trachea disease …

Sympatric species may overlap in their use of habitat and dietary resources, which can
increase competition. Comparing the ecological niches and quantifying the degree of niche …

An individual's foraging ecology can affect its growth and survival. Stable isotope analysis
has been commonly used to investigate the foraging ecology of marine turtles. However …

Multi-species assemblages can help identify key resources in their habitat by evaluating
how they are partitioning their resources. Here we used the isotopic niche of loggerhead …

Simple Summary In the last few decades, sea turtles have been threatened by a disease
called Fibropapillomatosis. Infection causes the growth of several tumors which can prevent …

Regional genetic differentiation of mitochondrial lineages occurs in migratory species with
natal philopatry such as sea turtles. However, early juvenile dispersal represents a key …

Assessing the distribution, density, and abundance of organisms is essential for
conservation and management of imperiled species. Simple counts of sampled individuals …

Resolving natal populations for juvenile green turtles is challenging given their potential for
extensive dispersal during the oceanic stage and ontogenetic shifts among nursery habitats …

Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a sea turtle disease characterized by benign tumor development
on the skin, eyes, and/or internal organs. It primarily affects juvenile green turtles (Chelonia …
