Individual specialization and temporal consistency in resource use by adult olive ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea)

During ontogenetic development, several types of marine vertebrates commonly switch their habitats and resources used. Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen in lines of arrested…

A temporal assessment of anthropogenic marine debris on sandy beaches from Ecuador’s southern coast

Anthropogenic marine debris (AMD) is an environmental pollution that affects marine life, human health, wellbeing, and the economy. This marine litter can deposit in the coastlines, particularly on…

A Preliminary Report of Plastic Ingestion by Hawksbill and Green Turtles in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea

Simple Summary Plastic production has increased over the past decades, causing more plastic pollution to enter marine ecosystems. Because plastics persist in the environment for hundreds of years,…

Systematic data collection from stranded sea turtles can provide useful biological information, such as seasonal and spatial patterns in their occurrence and mortality, age structure, sex ratio and diet, as well as possible mortality causes.

Quantifying ingested debris in marine megafauna: a review and recommendations for standardization

Standardized techniques, approaches and metrics for reporting debris ingestion that are applicable to most large marine vertebrates are discussed and proposed, with the aim of harmonizing the data that are available to facilitate large-scale comparisons and meta-analyses of plastic accumulation in a variety of taxa.

Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research

It is demonstrated that urgent action is required to better understand the effects of plastic debris and its effects on marine turtles, so that appropriate and effective mitigation policies can be developed.
