- Geographical and temporal patterns of green turtle occurrence along the southwestern Atlantic coast(2016) BARATA, P.C.R.; CARMAN, V.G.; FALLABRINO, A.; SANTOS, A.S.; BONDIOLI, C.V.; ESTRADES, A.; SANTOS, A.J.B.; SILVA, A.C.C.D.; SILVA, B.M.G.; GIFFONI, B.B.; DOMIT, C.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; BELLINI, C.; BATISTA, C.M.P.; BEZERRA, D.P.; MONTEIRO, D.S.; RIETH, D.; ALBAREDA, D.; LIMA, E.H.S.M.; LIMA, E.P.; GUEBERT, F.; VELEZ-RUBIO, G.M.; SALES, G.; LOPEZ, G.G.; STAHELIN, G.D.; BRUNO, I.; CASTILHOS, J.C.; THOME, J.C.A.; BECKER, J.H.; NARO-MACIEL, E.; MASCARENHAS, R.; WANDERLINDE, J.; MARCOVALDI, M.A.; BARROS, J.; ESTIMA, S.C.; MELO, M.T.D.; ROSA, L.
Item Identification of loggerhead male producing beaches in the south Atlantic: Implications for conservation.(2016-01-04) ARCOVALDI, M.A.G.; LÓPES-MENDILAHARSU, M.; SANTOS, A.S; LOPEZ, G.G.; GODFREY, M.H.; TOGNIN, F.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.; THOMÉ, J.C.; DIAS, A.C.C.; CASTILHOS, J.C.; FUENTES, M.M.P.B.Concern over the potential impacts of increased temperature on marine turtles, which have temperature dependent sex determination, has resulted in an increase in research that predicts the sex ratio of marine turtle hatchlings under various scenarios of climate change. To accurately understand the projected impacts from global warming, it is necessary to understand the sex ratio baseline in advance of climate change. To address this, the primary sex ratio of loggerhead hatchlings, Caretta caretta, was estimated from incubation duration of 27,697 in situ nests from 21 nesting beaches used by two subpopulations of loggerhead turtles in Brazil over the last 25 years. A strong female bias (94%) was observed in all the areas used by the northern loggerhead stock, Sergipe (SE) and Bahia (BA), whereas a more balanced sex ratio (53% female) was estimated at the regions used by the southern loggerhead stock, Espirito Santo (ES) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Both inter-annual (SE: 83% to 99%, BA: 79. % to 98%, ES: 33% to 81%, RJ: 18% to 81%) and inter-beach variabilities (SE: 91% to 98%, BA: 89% to 96%, ES: 47% to 69%, RJ: 28% to 55%) in mean female offspring were observed. These findings provide evidence of persistent female bias in Brazil, and importantly identify male producing beaches and months, which will guide management decisions.Item Olive ridley inter-nesting and post-nesting movements along the Brazilian coast and Atlantic Ocean. Endangered Species Research(2019-11-14) SANTOS, E.A.P.; SILVA, A.C.C.D.; SFORZA, R.; OLIVEIRA, F.L.C.; WEBER, M.I.; CASTILHOS, J.C.; LÓPEZ-MENDILAHARSU, M.; MARCOVALDI, M.A.A.G.; RAMOS, R.M.A.; DIMATTEO, A.The states of Sergipe and Bahia comprise the main nesting beaches for olive ridley sea turtles Lepidochelys olivacea in Brazil. Between February 2014 and March 2015, 40 L. olivacea were equipped with Argos platform transmitter terminal tags. A state-space model was applied to Argos location data to investigate the animals’ spatial ecology and identify areas of restricted movements (ARMs) and directional movements. The inter-nesting ARMs included the continental shelf from the south of Alagoas state to the north of Bahia, totaling 7244 km2 (kernel density estimation, 90% isopleth) and generally extended up to 22 km from the coast or to the 50 m isobath. The post-nesting directional movements were classified as either (1) neritic north/ northeastern (N/NE) Brazil to French Guiana (n = 4 turtles), (2) neritic south/southeastern (S/SE) Brazil (n = 16), or (3) oceanic (n = 19) from Brazil to West Africa. ARMs consistent with foraging areas were identified for 24 olive ridleys: 15 along the continental shelf of SE Brazil, 2 adjacent to Ceará and Maranhão states (between the 25 and 75 m isobaths), and 7 off the African countries of Cape Verde, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, and Sierra Leone. The results de monstrated the complexity of olive ridley movements from northern Brazil, raised questions about connectivity, and highlighted threats such as fisheries, ports, and hydrocarbon exploration fields overlapping with, or near to, high-use areas. These results can be used as a basis for spatial management measures to protect this endangered species.Item Subsídios para a Conservação e Manejo de Tartarugas Marinhas no Brasil Obtidos pela Telemetria por Satélite(2011-08-16) MARCOVALDI, M.A.; ALMEIDA, A. P.; SILVA, A. C. C. D.; GIFFONI, B.; LIMA, E. H. M.; LOPEZ, G. G.; CASTILHOS, J.C.; THOMÉ, J. C.; LÓPEZ-MENDILAHARSU, M.; BRUNO, S. C.Item What can we learn from sea turtle strandings?(2016) GOLDBERG, D.W.; PIRES, T.; VELLOSO, R.; BECKER, H.; CASTILHOS, J.C.; WANDERLINDE, J.; LOPEZ, G.G.; MELO, M.T.D.; SANTOS, A.B.; BAPTISTOTTE, C.Stranding datasets may provide important information on sea turtle health, age, size composition, diet, reproductive status, population trends and cause-specific mortality. Additionally, they are also used to infer geographic distribution and abundance or even trends in mortality risk, attributable to anthropogenic threats such as coastal fisheries and pollution. Five species of sea turtle were recorded in 5260 strandings from January 2014 to September 2015, along the Brazilian coast, of which 3903 were Chelonia mydas, 914 were Lepidochelys olivacea, 290 were Caretta caretta, 83 were Eretmochelys imbricata, 4 were Dermochelys coriacea and 66 could not be identified.Item Where do the olives go after nesting in Brazil?
