Abstract
Lay Summary Plasma biochemistry reference intervals were defined for nesting leatherback, foraging green and foraging hawksbill sea turtles, and descriptive statistics were calculated for nesting hawksbill turtles. Data support population health assessments and management of rehabilitating turtles in Grenada, and interspecies and conspecific comparisons contribute to our understanding of sea turtle physiology.
期刊介绍:
Conservation Physiology is an online only, fully open access journal published on behalf of the Society for Experimental Biology.
Biodiversity across the globe faces a growing number of threats associated with human activities. Conservation Physiology will publish research on all taxa (microbes, plants and animals) focused on understanding and predicting how organisms, populations, ecosystems and natural resources respond to environmental change and stressors. Physiology is considered in the broadest possible terms to include functional and mechanistic responses at all scales. We also welcome research towards developing and refining strategies to rebuild populations, restore ecosystems, inform conservation policy, and manage living resources. We define conservation physiology broadly and encourage potential authors to contact the editorial team if they have any questions regarding the remit of the journal.
