Abstract

Abstract A head-started Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) was documented nesting on South Walton Beach, Florida on 25 May 2015. This record supports the possibility that exposure to Florida waters after being held in captivity through 1–3 yrs of age during the head-starting process may have influenced future nest site selection of this and perhaps other Kemp's ridley turtles. Such findings could have important ramifications for marine water experimentation and release site selection for turtles that have been reared in captivity.

在佛罗里达州记录的头启动肯普的雷德利海龟(Lepidochelys kempii)巢:可能的含义

2015年5月25日，在佛罗里达州南沃尔顿海滩发现了一只头翅肯普雷德利海龟(Lepidochelys kempii)筑巢。这一记录支持了一种可能性，即在1-3岁的圈养过程中，暴露在佛罗里达州的水域中，可能会影响这只坎普雷德利海龟以及其他坎普雷德利海龟未来的筑巢地点选择。这些发现可能对海水实验和圈养海龟的放生地点选择产生重要影响。

期刊介绍： Chelonian Conservation and Biology is a biannual peer-reviewed journal of cosmopolitan and broad-based coverage of all aspects of conservation and biology of all chelonians, including freshwater turtles, marine turtles, and tortoises. Manuscripts may cover any aspects of turtle and tortoise research, with a preference for conservation or biology. Manuscripts dealing with conservation biology, systematic relationships, chelonian diversity, geographic distribution, natural history, ecology, reproduction, morphology and natural variation, population status, husbandry, community conservation initiatives, and human exploitation or conservation management issues are of special interest.
