"Asymmetries were observed in limb usage during turns, which affected the angular #velocity. Stroke frequencies significantly differ between turn type, but not between species."

Fig. 9
Differences in speed (m s−1) between broad limb pairings (Forelimbs vs Hindlimbs; Outboard Limbs vs Inboard Limbs). Within C. mydas, differences were consistently found within broad pairings: forelimbs were faster than hindlimbs, and inboard limbs were faster than outboard limbs, regardless of the turn type (rotational and translational). This might reflect the differences between their angular velocities during rotational and translational turns: the angular velocities of C. caretta showed no difference between rotational and translational turns, while the angular velocities of C. mydas differed between turn types.

Fig. 10
Differences in speed (m s−1) between specific limb pairings (Outboard Forelimb vs Inboard Forelimb; Outboard Hindlimb vs Inboard Hindlimb). Within C. caretta, differences in stroke speed were only found in specific pairs of limbs. In both rotational and translational turns, C. caretta was consistent in producing faster strokes from inboard hindlimbs. When disregarding turn type, the outboard forelimb was faster than the inboard forelimb. Only one specific pairing in C. mydas showed differences: during rotational turns, the speeds of inboard and outboard hindlimbs differed while the two forelimbs were similar...

Fig. 3

Anomalies found in #loggerhead and green turtle nests that incubated in warmer than normal years. A. Absence of a tail and vent; B. truncated carapace and flippers with abnormal vertebral and costal scutes and absence of #vertebral 4; C. schistosomas reflexus (posteriodorsal view) showing lack of pigment, extreme lordosis with limbs deviated dorsally and viscera exposed ventrally; D. loggerhead (ventral view) with right orofacial defect of upper rhamphotheca and cleft palate. This defect leads to mandibular misalignment and eventual permanent jaw closure. E. Green turtle that failed to form lower jaw (lower agnathia); F. loggerhead with microopththamia and associated narrow facial structures. This turtle also lacks normal pigment and has extra vertebral scutes. G. Loggerhead hatchling with thermal injury of the eyes, hyphema (bleeding into anterior eye chamber). H. Green turtle with a denatured yolk sac. I. Amelanistic (left) and normal (right) green turtle hatchlings. Note: all of these hatchlings, with the exception of C and F, emerged from their nests. They would have been included in total hatchlings entering the water, yet none with these anomalies are likely to survive more than hours to weeks. A, E, G I: J. Lasala with permission, B–D, F, H: J. Wyneken with permission. A full color version is available online.

"Here we describe examples of studies that have contributed both to a basic understanding of the #biology of imperiled marine #turtles, and to their management and #conservation.

Key elements include, first and foremost, correctly identifying species that differ strikingly in their morphology at different life stages because with growth, they change size by several orders of magnitude and have accompanying shape changes..."
Fig. 2
Examples of scute pattern anomalies in green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchlings. A. The normal scute pattern is a nuchal, 5 vertebrals, and 4 costals. B. The hatchling has abnormally wide vertebral scutes 3–5, bilateral loss of the 3rd costal scutes, and an extra small vertebral between the 4th costals. C. Asymmetric staggering of extra vertebral scutes and extra right costal scute. D. Multiple anomalies include a divided nuchal scute, asymmetric extra vertebrals, and bilateral divided or extra posterior costal scutes. C1–4: Costal scutes; V1–5: Vertebral scutes. Photos, A–C: J. Lasala with permission, D. J. Wyneken with permission.

There is a broad fascination with sea #turtles wherever they live that has its foundations in their diverse, and often still mysterious, natural history..."
