Boater Compliance with Speed Regulations in High-Risk Areas for Marine Turtle Watercraft Strikes

Mariana M. P. B. Fuentes, Jessica Z. D’Auria, Stephanie Viegas Gkionis, Camille Kynoch et autres

Watercraft strikes pose a significant threat to marine turtles because they surface to breathe and spend much of their time in habitats that overlap with areas of high watercraft traffic. Although reduced watercraft speeds have been shown to lower the likelihood and …

Predation on sea turtles at sea: A multi‐source synthesis and research perspectives

Paolo Casale, Alessandro Servolini, Enrique González-Bernardo, Giulia Baldi et autres

Predation is a key ecological process shaping sea turtle populations, yet - unlike predation of eggs, hatchlings and adults on nesting beaches - its role at sea remains poorly quantified due to observational challenges. This study synthesizes multiple, rarely integrated data sources-including …

Determining abundance and survival of sea turtles at foraging areas: a logistically feasible field approach using multiple analytical methods

Allen M. Foley, Blair E. Witherington, Trent L. McDonald, Shigetomo Hirama et autres

The importance of monitoring long-term trends in abundance and survival of sea turtles at foraging areas has been asserted for decades, but few studies have accomplished this. We report on 19 yr (2000-2018) of monitoring these trends in Florida Bay (Florida, USA) …

Piscichuvirus-Associated Severe Meningoencephalomyelitis in Aquatic Turtles, United States, 2009–2021

Weerapong Laovechprasit, Kelsey T. Young, Brian A. Stacy, Steven B. Tillis et autres

Viruses from a new species of piscichuvirus were strongly associated with severe lymphocytic meningoencephalomyelitis in several free-ranging aquatic turtles from 3 coastal US states during 2009-2021. Sequencing identified 2 variants (freshwater turtle neural virus 1 [FTuNV1] and sea turtle neural virus 1 …

Long‐term apparent survival of a cold‐stunned subpopulation of juvenile green turtles

Robert Mollenhauer, Margaret M. Lamont, Allen M. Foley

Abstract Understanding the effects of extreme weather on animal populations is fundamental to ecological and conservation sciences and species management. Climate change has resulted in both warm and cold temperature extremes, including an increased frequency of severe cold snaps at middle latitudes …

Capture vulnerability of sea turtles on recreational fishing piers

Margaret M. Lamont, Robert Mollenhauer, Allen M. Foley

Capture vulnerability of commercial and recreational fishes has been associated with behavioral, morphological, and life-history traits; however, relationships with non-target species, such as sea turtles, have not been adequately studied. We examined species composition, timing of captures, morphological variables including body size …

Caryospora-Like Coccidia Infecting Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas): An Emerging Disease With Evidence of Interoceanic Dissemination

Brian A. Stacy, Phoebe A. Chapman, Heather Stockdale-Walden, Thierry Martin Work et autres

Protozoa morphologically consistent with Caryospora sp. are one of the few pathogens associated with episodic mass mortality events involving free-ranging sea turtles. Parasitism of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) by these coccidia and associated mortality was first reported in maricultured turtles in the …

Characterizing watercraft‐related mortality of sea turtles in Florida

Allen M. Foley, Brian A. Stacy, Robert F. Hardy, Colin P. Shea et autres

ABSTRACT Mortality from being struck by a motorized watercraft is considerable for many aquatic vertebrates around the world, including sea turtles. We studied stranded (i.e., dead, sick, or injured) sea turtles found in Florida, USA, during 1986–2014 and identified those with sharp …
