Green turtles shape the seascape through grazing patch formation around habitat features: Experimental evidence
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3902
Abstract: Abstract Understanding how megaherbivores incorporate habitat features into their foraging behavior is key toward understanding how herbivores shape the surrounding landscape. While the role of habitat structure has been studied within the context of predator–prey… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/conphys/coac043
Abstract: Abstract Animal health is directly linked to population viability, which may be impacted by anthropogenic disturbances and diseases. Reference intervals (RIs) for haematology and blood biochemistry are essential tools for the assessment of animal health.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0325
Abstract: Satellite tracking is a key tool for studying sea turtles in the wild. Most tracking has been performed on adult females however, leaving knowledge gaps regarding other population segments, such as adult males. By satellite… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.0057
Abstract: In-water behaviour and long-term movements of oceanic-stage juvenile sea turtles are not well described or quantified. This is owing to technological or logistical limitations of tracking small, fast-growing animals across long distances and time periods… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40168-018-0454-z
Abstract: BackgroundTetrapods do not express hydrolases for cellulose and hemicellulose assimilation, and hence, the independent acquisition of herbivory required the establishment of new endosymbiotic relationships between tetrapods and microbes. Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) are one of… read more here.
