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 aerobic oral and cloacal bacterial microbiota their antimicrobial resistance were characterized for 64 apparently healthy sea turtles captured at foraging grounds in Ojo de Liebre Lagoon (OLL), Baja California Sur (BCS), Mexico (Pacific Ocean) the lagoon system of Navachiste (LSN) Marine Area Influence (MAI), Guasave, Sinaloa (Gulf California). A total 34 black (Chelonia mydas agassizii) sampled OLL eight 22 olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) LSN MAI, respectively from January to...
Blood parameters provide an excellent tool to evaluate the health status of wildlife. However, there are few studies about sea turtles in Mexico. For olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), no information was available establish baseline for species. The objective this study reference blood biochemistry values northern Sinaloa foraging area. Between 2013 and 2015, 82 were captured. Body condition index (BCI) presented a mean 1.46 ± 0.14 (1.17-2.02) that categorized population with body...
Abstract Trophic position and niche width are fundamental components of a species’ ecology, reflecting resource use, influencing key demographic parameters such as somatic growth, maturation, survival. Concepts about trophic space have important implications for local management habitat protection, can shed light resilience to changing climate species occurring over broad spatial scales. For elusive marine animals sea turtles, is challenging study, researchers often rely on other metrics,...
In this study, 10% of all registered fishermen in the coastal towns Navachiste Sinaloa, northwestern Mexico, answered a survey designed to collect data on their perceptions following topics: impact turtle meat consumption; human health; bycatch; illegal fishing; sea market; local economy; pollution; environmental education; success protective legislation; and turtle-based ecotourism. Perceptions were analyzed using fuzzy logic method through classification into 5 membership sets: VL, very...
We analyzed the effectiveness of two psychological therapies to treat depression in Culiacan population, Mexico. According criteria MINI (international Neuropsychiatric interview), 30 individuals from a total 300 were selected and diagnosed with some kind depression. Patients divided three groups: 1) treatment hypnosis therapy, 2) Gestalt-hypnosis 3) control group. Before after treatments Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was applied know level groups. The results show that groups presenting...

The East Pacific (EP) leatherback population is listed by the IUCN Red List of Threatened species as Critically Endangered. Despite conservation efforts, mainly focused around nesting areas, its has declined over 90% since 1980s. major current threat fisheries bycatch, but impact been primary documented within South American migration and foraging habitats, with scarce information from or interesting areas. To assess small-scale on EP leatherbacks inhabiting waters north equator we conducted...
Olive ridleys (Lepidochelys olivacea) are the most numerous sea turtle species worldwide and also locally along Pacific coast of Mexico. Published data on their distribution nesting abundance Nayarit northern Jalisco, Mexico are, however, scarce. Here we describe current extent conservation activities history efforts to protect turtles this 394-km stretch coastline. We found that 110 km (of total 394 km) monitored by 18 programs, which in 2015 accounted for 43.2% shoreline. ridley was...
Bacterial infections have been documented in marine mammals for decades, and some are considered emerging pathogens with zoonotic potential. The aerobic oral (n=16) rectal (n=17) bacterial microbiota their antimicrobial resistance were characterized 17 apparently healthy California sea lion pups (Zalophus californianus) captured a hoop net Farallon Island, Sinaloa, Mexico, 2016.

During routine monitoring in Ojo de Liebre Lagoon, Mexico, a juvenile black turtle (Chelonia mydas) was captured, physically examined, measured, weighed, sampled, and tagged. The showed no clinical signs suggestive of disease. Eleven months later, this recaptured the same area, during which one lesion fibropapilloma on neck identified sampled for histopathology molecular analysis. Histopathology revealed hyperkeratosis, epidermal hyperplasia, acanthosis, papillary differentiation ballooning...
Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are characterized by their transoceanic migratory patterns in the North Pacific Ocean, as individuals of this species originating from nesting beaches Japan known to forage along Baja California Peninsula (BCP), Mexico. The nearshore waters BCP serve important foraging habitat for growth and development; however, implementation appropriate management strategies has been hindered paucity data on biology distribution species, particularly juveniles during...
Sea turtles and their nests face multiple threats on nesting beaches. Techniques have been developed to mitigate threats, these include relocating fenced-off hatcheries or polystyrene boxes. The alteration of the nest’s natural environment may direct effects hatchling phenotype locomotor performance. To test two incubation conditions proxies for fitness, we analysed performance (time crawl 3 m righting response) phenotypic measures (weight carapace length width) olive ridley sea turtle (...
Abstract The loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta ) is a circumglobal species and listed as vulnerable globally. North Pacific population nests in Japan migrates to the Central coast of America feed. In Mexican Pacific, records presence are largely restricted Gulf Ulloa along Baja California Peninsula, where very high fisheries by-catch mortality has been reported. Records turtles within Sea Cortez also known (GC) exist; however, their ecology this region poorly understood. We used satellite...
