• Simulated green turtle grazing affects structure and productivity of seagrass pastures

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 305:235-247 (2005)

  The seagrass Thalassia testudinum evolved under much greater grazing pressure than exists today because overexploitation by humans caused the severe decline of green turtles Chelonia mydas , the major…

• Tumor re-growth, case outcome, and tumor scoring systems in rehabilitated green turtles with fibropapillomatosis

  Dis Aquat Org 137:101-108 (2019)

  Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is an infectious, neoplastic disease of major concern in sea turtle rehabilitation facilities. Rehabilitating sea turtles that undergo tumor removal surgery often have tumor…

• Presence of chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) in sea turtles in northern Sinaloa, Mexico

  Dis Aquat Org 132:99-108 (2019)

  The presence of fibropapilloma and its associated chelonid herpesvirus 5 (ChHV5) was assessed in 82 wild sea turtles. Olive ridley turtles Lepidochelys olivacea (n = 58) were caught in the pelagic…

• Fibropapillomatosis prevalence and distribution in green turtles Chelonia mydas in Texas (USA)

  Dis Aquat Org 136:175-182 (2019)

  Fibropapillomatosis (FP) is a neoplastic disease that can result in debilitating tumors in sea turtles. Initially identified in Florida, USA in 1937, it has since been detected in green turtle…

• Underwater behaviour of green turtles monitored with video-time-depth recorders: what’s missing from dive profiles?

  Mar Ecol Prog Ser 322:269-280 (2006)

  We used a turtle-mounted video and data-logging system (Crittercam; National Geographic Society, USA) to study underwater behaviour and dive patterns of green turtles, Chelonia mydas , at a coastal…

• Forage preferences and size-mediated trophic segregation among green turtles Chelonia mydas in a resource-limited tropical marine ecosystem

  Endang Species Res 61:esr01539 (2026)
