Blood analytes of hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) from Florida waters: reference intervals and size-relevant correlations

Nicole I. I. Stacy et al.

Summary: Assessments of health variables in wild animal populations have become important tools for understanding population trends, effects of stressors, diseases, and ecosystem health. Blood can be sampled non-invasively in the field, allowing for diagnostic testing. This study focuses on blood analysis in hawksbill sea turtles in Florida, establishing reference intervals and identifying correlations with length, body condition, and water temperature.

The impact of environmental and occupational exposures of manganese on pulmonary, hepatic, and renal functions

Deepa Gandhi et al.

Summary: Manganese is an essential trace element for humans, but long-term exposures can lead to health issues, including multiple organ dysfunction. Studies support a causal link between Mn exposure and structural and functional changes in organs, with toxic mechanisms including altered cell activities, oxidative stress, and cell apoptosis. Treatment strategies and future research directions are also discussed.

Haematological and biochemical reference intervals for wild green turtles (Chelonia mydas): a Bayesian approach for small sample sizes

Sara Kophamel et al.

Summary: This study aimed to establish reference intervals (RIs) for blood parameters of green turtles using Bayesian modeling. The RIs were found to be comparable to previously published values and had narrower credible intervals. Most blood analytes did not vary significantly with foraging ground, body mass, or curved carapace length. However, length and body mass effects were observed for certain analytes, and significant differences between foraging grounds were found for several blood parameters. The derived RIs will be useful for future population health assessments and conservation efforts.

Integrating morphological and genetic data at different spatial scales in a cosmopolitan marine turtle species: challenges for management and conservation

Rocio Alvarez-Varas et al.

Summary: In highly mobile marine vertebrates like the green turtle, genetic and phenotypic differentiation patterns are congruent between lineages, with adaptive divergence suggested at fine scales. Connectivity among Pacific foraging grounds may be influenced by ocean surface current temperatures, shaping the genetic structure of C. mydas at broad scales. Factors like vicariance, dispersal, life-history traits, and ecological conditions in foraging grounds have shaped the intraspecific morphology and genetic diversity of this species.

Rocio Alvarez-Varas et al.

Summary: This study used a genome approach to uncover the genetic and ecological differences between shape-based morphotypes of the green turtle in the Pacific Ocean, supporting the uniqueness of the black turtle at the genetic level and its adaptation to the environment. These findings contribute to the research in evolutionary biology and conservation genomics.

Comprehensive health assessment and blood analyte reference intervals of gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) in southeastern FL, USA

Annie Page-Karjian et al.

Summary: The health assessment of gopher tortoise populations in southeastern FL revealed that adult tortoises were more likely to show upper respiratory tract disease (URTD) symptoms and had a significant positive relationship with antibodies to Mycoplasma spp. Additionally, Anaplasma spp. infections were observed in 10% of tortoises, but PCR detected Anaplasma sp. in 25% of the tortoises. No Herpesvirus or Ranavirus were detected in any samples.
