Juvenile Green Turtle (chelonia Mydas) Foraging Ecology:feeding Selectivity And Forage Nutrient Analysis
For the endangered green turtle, Chelonia mydas, a fundamental component of recovery and conservation is an understanding of its foraging ecology. Foraging optimality models suggest animals will select resources of high quality over those of low quality. For green turtles, this behavior is …

Using Environmental DNA Surveys to Assess Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) Presence in Mississippi and Louisiana
<p>The green sea turtle (<em>Chelonia mydas</em>) is listed as Endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, largely due to anthropogenic impacts. In Mississippi and Louisiana, it is known that <em>C. mydas</em> occur in these areas, yet the …

Effects Of A Shore Protection Project On Loggerhead And Green Turtle Nesting Activity And Reproduction In Brevard County, Florida
… turtles (Caretta caretta) and on green turtles (Chelonia mydas) were investigated. Previous studies concerning beach nourishment projects have focused on loggerhead turtles. I compared data between nourished and non-nourished areas and between loggerhead and green turtles. I found, at one season …

Reproductive success of sea turtles nesting on Wabasso Beach, East-Central Florida
… turtles (Caretta caretta), 27 green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), and 1 leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) were monitored on Wabasso Beach in Indian River County, Florida. Two hundred and forty four of the loggerhead and 2 of the green sea turtle nests were marked during night surveys …

Bycatch and foraging ecology of sea turtles in the Eastern Pacific
… reduced population numbers and for green turtle Chelonia mydas due to its highest mortality rate. It also emphasizes the continuous lack of use of TEDs as a bycatch mitigation measure. In longline fisheries, the review identifies the high bycatch rates in pelagic longline fisheries of Costa Rica, …
