We didn’t have any luck catching juvenile #seaturtles today (thanks 🐬) but we were 2 for 2 on finding leatherback clutches in the #ArchieCarrNWR! Here are a few of us after a successful trenching session (permitted research MTP-186, 171) @UCFTurtleLab

⛔️GRAPHIC CONTENT ⛔️ How cool is this?! As a person who works heavily with #deadthings, I thought others might enjoy this cool stranding from last week! This green sea turtle was shot with a stingray spine! Talk about an interesting cause of death! ☠️ 🐢😬

Do you study sea turtles but not in the Gulf of Mexico? There's something for you too! We also compiled global mtDNA haplotypes (long fragment 🧬) along with the life stages and ocean basins where they've been identified to date. More details in our talk... 🧵2/4

Oh how I've missed the International Sea Turtle Symposium! Researchers from all over 🌏 discussing 🌊🐢 science. How do we know where our study 🐢 are from? Join #ISTS40_Virtual Session 18 on Sunday to hear my talk about oceanic-stage sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico. 🧵1/4

Field biologists: What is one of the most important everyday items (something you can buy from Walmart or home depot) that you use in your field work?

Anyone an expert on epibionts ⁉️Especially on 🐢? I have a theory there is an epibiont hierarchy, so specific types of epi are more severe or negative. Is this true? Is there value in collecting data on types of epibiota? Especially for strandings? RT for help!

Nesting is winding down, but the @UCFTurtleLab is marking extra nests this fall w/ a Florida #SeaTurtle Grants Program award ($ from #SeaTurtleLicensePlate). The project aims to improve understanding of late-season nest incubation duration, nest viability, & hatchling production.
