The subspecific classification of the loggerhead sea turtle is debated, but most authors consider it a single polymorphic species. [12] Molecular genetics has confirmed hybridization of the loggerhead sea turtle with the Kemp's ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, and green sea turtles. The extent of natural hybridization is not yet ...

Male and female turtles mate in the water, and the males return to deep sea to feed. For several weeks, female sea turtles alternate between mating in the water and laying their eggs on land. Before laying her eggs, a female turtle will dig a hole in the sand with her hind flippers. She covers it with sand and returns to the ocean.
In contrast to their earth-bound relatives, tortoises, sea turtles do not have the ability to retract their heads into their shells. Their plastron, which is the bony plate making up the underside of a turtle or tortoise's shell, is comparably more reduced from other turtle species and is connected to the top part of the shell by ligaments without a hinge separating the pectoral and abdominal ...
A part of the Pacific Ocean earmarked for deep-sea mining is home to a surprising variety of life, images from a recent voyage to the Clarion-Clipperton Zone show.
Loggerhead Sea Turtle. Sea turtles are considered ectothermic non-avian reptiles. Temperature has a major effect on both metabolic and physiological process of the turtle. [7] During sea turtle migration, it has been shown that there is a correlation between activity levels and VO2 within the turtles.
Adelita is the name of the first sea turtle tracked across an ocean basin, the northern Pacific Ocean.A satellite tag was placed on Adelita, [1] a female loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), in 1996 [2] by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols for a research project.
The red arrows (and associated numbers) indicate the annual flux changes due to anthropogenic activities, averaged over the 2000–2009 time period. They represent how the carbon cycle has changed since 1750. Red numbers in the reservoirs represent the cumulative changes in anthropogenic carbon since the start of the Industrial Period, 1750–2011.
