X.CORSO, G.BELLINI, C.2024-03-012024-03-012009https://bdc.icmbio.gov.br/handle/cecav/2092Female hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting along the southeast coastline of Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil (6º13'40"S, 35º03'05"W) were captured and weighed during the 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 egg-laying seasons. The mean value for the first post-oviposition weight was 79.6 kg (range 56.2 – 105.7 kg; SD = 11.3 kg; n = 72 females). Those individuals which were subsequently recaptured showed a mean weight loss of 1.6 kg (range -3.7 – 5.1; SD = 1.43; n = 75 sets of measurements on 36 females) in the interval between two consecutive post-oviposition (i.e. after one internidal interval).enTrabalhos publicados em eventos
