Abstract Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability cope projected increases in ambient will depend on capacity adapt shifts climatic regimes. Here, we assessed the extent which phenological could mitigate impacts from (from 1.5 3°C air 1.4 2.3°C sea surface 2100 at our sites) four species turtles, under a...
Abstract Aim Understanding the spatial ecology of animal movements is a critical element in conserving long‐lived, highly mobile marine species. Analyzing networks developed from six sea turtle species reveals connectivity and can help prioritize conservation efforts. Location Global. Methods We collated telemetry data 1235 individuals reviewed literature to determine our dataset's representativeness. used develop at different scales examine areas, connections, their geographic arrangement....
The following protocol is intended to respond the requirements set by European Union's Marine Strategy Framework Directives (MSFD) for D10C3 Criteria reported in Commission Decision (EU), related amount of litter ingested marine animals. Standardized methodologies extracting items from dead sea turtles along with guidelines on data analysis are provided. starts collection and classification samples according decomposition status. Turtle necropsy must be performed authorized centers described...
Abstract The nesting activities of Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta Stejneger, 1902) and anthropogenic factors affecting them were monitored over 7 years (2002–2008) on Dalaman-Sarıgerme beach, one the main grounds in Turkey. Out 2620 emergences recorded during entire study period, only 645 (24.6%) resulted successful nesting, giving an annual mean number nests 92. collective eggs these numbered 50239, with 40079 (79.8%) producing hatchlings. total laid, 8128 (16.2%) dead embryos 2032...
Monitoring of sea turtle nesting beaches in Türkiye have been conducted since 1988 and the number reached to 22. Mediterranean coast has many small pocket other inaccessible remote sandy beaches. In this study, I introduce a new site, Yakacık Beach, for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) border Antalya Mersin provinces. Following preliminary field studies on 1.7 km long beach, 201 197 nests were found 2020 and
 2021, respectively, average nest density two years was calculated as 117.6...
The biochemical blood parameters of 22 (7 foraging, 7 nesting, and 8 injured) loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the southwest coast Turkey were investigated. A total 27 variables analyzed in three groups (plasma enzymes, plasma metabolites, ions), 4 steroid hormones: testosterone (T), estradiol (E2), progesterone (Pro), corticosterone (B). Triglyceride, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, very magnesium, phosphorus higher nesting females; urea was high foraging individuals;...
Satellite tracking studies have identified some of the migratory corridors and foraging sites Mediterranean loggerhead sea turtle ( Caretta caretta ) rookeries over past few decades. However, due to a lack information for breeding in Libya Turkey, our understanding distribution connectivity adult loggerheads is limited. We satellite-tracked 17 female turtles one main nesting areas Turkey identify (1) pathways, (2) their areas. Females were tracked 96-657 d (mean: 271 d), followed 3 general...
Abstract The homing journeys of nine loggerhead turtles translocated from their nesting beach to offshore release sites, were reconstructed through Argos and GPS telemetry while water-related orientation was simultaneously recorded at high temporal resolution by multi-sensor data loggers featuring a three-axis magnetic sensor. All managed return the area, although with indirect routes encompassing an initial straight leg not precisely oriented towards home, successive homebound segment...
Sea turtles can be genetically differentiated for their nesting beaches or regions because they show natal homing behaviour. This may a single beach as management unit of several beaches. Mediterranean coast Türkiye has many small pocket and other inaccessible remote sandy In this study, we investigated the genetic structure newly identified loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) site, Yakacık in border Antalya Mersin provinces. The CC-A2.1 CC-A3.1 haplotypes were defined within 16 samples...
It is widely recognized that the examination of haplotypes among sea turtles inhabiting nesting beaches holds significant importance. Yet, an effective conservation effort a population also requires investigation origin strand on shore, especially as many these result from interactions with fisheries. In consideration this, we analyzed 542 stranded individuals Eastern Mediterranean and identified total 9 different haplotypes. Two were new haplotypes, one individual was found in Marmaris,...
Marmaris semenderinin ( Lyciasalamandra flavimembris ) Muğla ilinde yayılış gösterdiği bilinen ve gösterebileceği lokalitelerde türün üreme dönemleri boyunca izleme çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda, bölgedeki popülasyon durumu, türe yönelik tehditler araştırılmış tespit edildiği yaşam alanlarının koordinat, yükselti mevkii bilgileri ile mikro iklimsel özellikleri kaydedilmiştir. Türün en az 13 temsil edildiği, bireylerin alanı olarak daha çok kuzeye bakan, güneş alan, nemli, bol...
Prevalence and pathology of Lernaea cyprinacea (Crustacea: Lernaeidae) parasitizing tadpoles Pelophylax bedriagae (Anura: Ranidae) in Antalya, Turkey. This is a report the frst record occurrence on bedriagae, frog species native from Karpuzçay Creek, A total 20 P. were examined 14 (70%) specimens infected. maximum two parasites per host was found, primarily around cloaca. In general, slight to moderate hyperemia noticed parasite. Typically, granuloma form tissues Histopathological...
In this study, we present the first in-water monitoring results of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in Köyceğiz-Dalyan specially protected area (SPA), Turkey. The capture-mark-recapture (CMR) study encompassed a total 113 capture events 88 individuals across two sampling years. majority population was adults (88.6%) with highly male-biased (70.5%) sex ratio. Our indicate that some overwintering also contribute to nesting region. Biometric characteristics captured were presented....
Marine litter is ubiquitous and its negative impact on the marine environment could have cascading impacts. Sea turtles are considered as bio-indicator for monitoring However, lack of standardised data has prevented accurate analysis environmental biological factors influencing ingestion relationships with individual health. Old collected from 1988 harmonised standard 2016 enabled such analyses 1,121 necropsied loggerhead (Caretta caretta) in eight countries bordering Mediterranean...
Abstract The loggerhead sea turtle ( Caretta caretta ), has the broadest distribution among species in Mediterranean and requires regional international collaborations addition to local efforts better inform conservation actions. Molecular techniques are powerful tools assess population dynamics at large scales, especially by determining connectivity different nesting foraging sites, genetic diversity. In this study, a sample was collected synchronously areas located north, south east of...
