摘要

We estimated for the first time the growth rates of loggerhead sea turtles of Mediterranean and of Atlantic origin found in the Mediterranean Sea, combining both skeletochronological and genetic analyses. Our growth models suggested that the growth rate of loggerhead sea turtles of Mediterranean origin was faster than that of their conspecifics with an Atlantic origin exploiting the feeding grounds in the Mediterranean Sea. The age at maturity for Mediterranean origin loggerhead sea turtles, estimated using our best fitting model, was 24 years, which suggests that loggerhead sea turtles nesting in the Mediterranean are not only smaller than those nesting in the western North Atlantic but also younger.

Assessing the use of marine protected areas by loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) tracked from the western Mediterranean

Sara Abalo-Morla, Eduardo J. Belda, David March, Ohiana Revuelta, Luis Cardona, Silvia Giralt, Jose Luis Crespo-Picazo, Sandra Hochscheid, Adolfo Marco, Manuel Merchan, Ricardo Sagarminaga, Yonat Swimmer, Jesus Tomas

Summary: There are 264 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the western Mediterranean Sea, with 25 of them prioritizing the protection of loggerhead sea turtles. However, it is uncertain whether these MPAs are actually utilized by the turtles. Satellite tracking data of 103 loggerhead turtles over a 15-year period were analyzed, and it was found that the turtles visited several MPAs but rarely used them. Most of the core areas and high-density areas of the turtles were not included within any MPAs. These findings suggest that the existing MPAs may not contribute enough to loggerhead turtle conservation.

First study on the presence of plastic additives in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the Mediterranean Sea

Berta Sala, Aleix Balasch, Ethel Eljarrat, Luis Cardona

Summary: Loggerhead turtles voluntarily ingest floating plastic debris and are chronically exposed to plastic additives. The presence of organophosphate esters (OPEs) in their tissues is mainly from ingestion of plastic debris rather than their prey, leading to biomagnification potential of certain OPEs in turtle muscle compared to their main prey. Regular ingestion of plastic debris and contamination from their prey may explain the significantly higher levels of OPEs in loggerhead turtles than in other marine animals in the western Mediterranean.

Plasmatic B-esterases as potential biomarkers of exposure to marine plastics in loggerhead turtles

M. Sole, A. Bassols, V Labrada-Martagon

Summary: Sea turtles, particularly Caretta caretta, are proposed as sentinels of plastic pollution. Plasmatic B-esterases, such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), and carboxylesterase (CE), have been measured in wild turtles and shown to increase after rehabilitation, indicating their potential as biomarkers of plastic contamination. However, further research is needed to confirm the association between plasma enzyme modifications and plastic exposure.

Global warming facilitates the nesting of the loggerhead turtle on the Mediterranean coast of Spain

L. Cardona, J. San Martin, L. Benito, J. Tomas, E. Abella, J. Eymar, M. Aguilera, J. A. Esteban, A. Tarrago, A. Marco

Summary: The ranges of many species are shifting poleward as global warming intensifies, but this process might be less intense in philopatric species, i.e. those with the tendency to reproduce at their natal sites. Marine turtles are highly philopatric and their vulnerability to global warming is exacerbated by aspects of their life history. Increased detection of nesting events in the Western Mediterranean Sea could be a response to global warming or increased sampling effort. Temperature data studies in Spanish beaches reveal that sand temperature is currently high enough for the incubation of loggerhead turtle clutches, but suitable conditions for regular nesting have only existed since 2010. The future establishment of a self-sustained population would require further temperature increases, but this process may be threatened by sea level rise impacts.
