ABSTRACT The Eastern Pacific hawksbill turtle is one of the most threatened management units in the world. In the Colombian Pacific it has been detected in feeding areas and in juvenile and / or sub adult’s stages. Its nesting areas and season are unknown to the country. On February 24th, 2020, the first female hawksbill turtle for the Colombian Pacific was reported, in the Conservation Mosaic of Bahía Málaga. The minimum curved carapace length was 90 cm, the curved carapace length nuchal-tip was 90.5 cm, the curved carapace width was 73.6 cm and its weight was 69 kg. The presence of a female and being the main feeding and residence area for juvenile and sub adult of the species in the Pacific of Colombia makes it essential to continue systematic... |

ABSTRACT The conservation and nesting ecology of the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) are described, as a result of a systematic monitoring between 2018 and 2019 in the municipality of Rincón del Mar, San Onofre, Sucre. Six hawksbill turtle nests were recorded in situ, one nest was poached by humans. The nesting female spawned a total of 761 eggs in five clutches (mean 152.2 ± 15.5 eggs per clutch). Mean hatching success was 78.2 ± 12.4 % and the mean emergence success was 74.7 ± 14.1 % (n = 5). The mean incubation period was 54 ± 7.8 days (n = 4). 591 hatchlings were released into the sea, of which 22 (3.72 %) were rescued and released with the community. In addition, physical measurements of the nests (width, depth, distance to the beach) and... |

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.... |
