Abstract Marine turtle hybridization is usually sporadic and involves reports of only a few individuals; however, Brazilian populations have high hybridization rates. Here we investigated the presence of hybrids in morphologically identified immature hawksbills (Eretmochelys imbricata) along the South Western Atlantic (SWA). We sequenced one mitochondrial (D-Loop) and three nuclear DNA (RAG1, RAG2, and CMOS) markers to better understand the patterns and characteristics of hybrids. We identified 22 hybrids (n = 270), 11 of them at the extreme South of the SWA. Uruguay had the highest hybrid frequency in the SWA (~37.5%) followed by southern Brazil with 30%. These are common areas for loggerheads (Caretta caretta) but uncommon for hawksbills, and these...

A study on the Gut contents of live Juvenile Loggerhead Turtles, Caretta Caretta (Linnaeus) (Reptilia, Cheloniidae), from the South-Eastern part of the North Atlantic Ocean, with emphasis on Coelenterate Identification
Provedor de dados: 16
Autores: Nierop, M.M. van; Hartog, J.C. den.
The gut contents of five juvenile individuals of the loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta (L.) from waters around Madeira, Selvagem Grande (Selvagens Islands) and São Miguel (Azores) were analysed macro- and microscopically. Macroscopic investigations showed that epipelagic salps (e.g., Pyrosoma atlanticum Péron) and gastropods (e.g., Ianthina spp. and Pterotrachea spp.) constituted an important part of the food remains present in these loggerheads. To a lesser extent this also holds for organisms such as goose-barnacles (Lepas spp.). and Idotea metallica Bosc, which live on drifting materials, including algae. Microscopic examination revealed the presence in all turtles of large numbers of nematocysts, deriving mainly from Siphonophora and to a lesser extent...

Turtle cleaners: reef fishes foraging on epibionts of sea turtles in the tropical Southwestern Atlantic, with a summary of this association type
Provedor de dados: 83
Autores: Sazima,Cristina; Grossman,Alice; Sazima,Ivan.
In the present study we record several instances of reef fish species foraging on epibionts of sea turtles (cleaning symbiosis) at the oceanic islands of Fernando de Noronha Archipelago and near a shipwreck, both off the coast of Pernambuco State, northeast Brazil. Nine reef fish species and three turtle species involved in cleaning are herein recorded. Besides our records, a summary of the literature on this association type is presented. Postures adopted by turtles during the interaction are related to the habits of associated fishes. Feeding associations between fishes and turtles seem a localized, albeit common, phenomenon.

Influence of artificial lights on the orientation of hatchlings of Eretmochelys imbricata in Pernambuco, Brazil
Provedor de dados: 103
Autores: Simões,Thyara Noely; Silva,Arley Candido da; Moura,Carina Carneiro de Melo.
ABSTRACT Sea turtle hatchlings, in natural abiotic conditions, emerge from their nests at night and go directly to the sea, following the moonlight’s reflection in the ocean. Increased human activities such as tourism and artificial lights on the coasts, however, have interfered with the ability of sea turtle neonates to find their correct destination, negatively affecting their survival rates. Here we endeavored to assess the influence of artificial lights on the hatchlings of the sea turtle Eretmochelys imbricata (Linnaeus, 1766) in the south coast of the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. To that end, 10 experiments were conducted with 15 hatchlings/test subjects. Five experiments took place in artificially illuminated areas and five in non-illuminated areas....

Somatic growth rates of the Hawksbill Turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, in Gorgona Natural National Park, Colombia, between 2004 and 2018
Provedor de dados: 50
Autores: Cañas-Uribe,Mariana; Payán,Luis F.; Amorocho,Diego F.; Páez,Vivian P.
ABSTRACT The Hawksbill Turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, is globally assessed as Critically Endangered, and information in the Eastern Pacific Ocean is limited. For this reason, this investigation evaluated the somatic growth rates in an immature hawksbill sea turtle aggregation using capture-mark-recapture on the coral reefs at Playa Blanca and La Azufrada in the Gorgona Natural National Park, Colombia. Between 2004 and 2018, we made 89 captures of 49 hawksbill individuals. The mean curved carapace length (CCL) obtained was 41.6 cm (range 32-58 cm), and the mean straight-line carapace length (SCL) was 39.1 cm (range 30.0-54.1 cm), showing these reefs to be critical foraging grounds for immature individuals. The mean body condition index was 1.3 (range...
