Abstract Inorganic elements (Pb, Cd, Hg, Al, As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Se and Zn) are present
globally in aquatic systems and their potential transfer to marine turtles can be a serious …

Threatened or endangered reptiles, such as sea turtles, are generally understudied within
the field of wildlife toxicology, with even fewer studies on how contaminants affect …

Environmental contaminants have been suggested as a possible cause of
fibropapillomatosis (FP) in green sea turtles. In turn, a reduced concentration of serum …

Important indicators of population health needed for large-scale sea turtle population
recovery efforts include demographics, disease and mortality trends, condition indices, and …

Sea turtles are an iconic group of marine megafauna that have been exposed to multiple
anthropogenic threats across their different life stages, especially in the past decades. This …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles was published in 1997, the field has
grown and matured in ways few of the authors would have predicted—particularly in the …

Chemical contamination of marine turtles has been well documented in the literature,
although information on the toxicological effects of these contaminants is poorly understood …

Determining patterns of migratory connectivity for highly-mobile, wide-ranging species, such
as sea turtles, is challenging. Here, we combined satellite telemetry and stable isotope …

As climate change continues, sea turtle nests will be increasingly exposed to elevated
incubation temperatures. Higher incubation temperatures influence many aspects of sea …

A large number of nesting loggerhead sea turtles (n= 201) were sampled to establish the
blood levels of 11 elements (Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, As, Al, Hg, and Se). Almost all of the …
