TL;DR: It is suggested that the low body temperature of this marine ectotherm compared with that of endotherms might help reduce the risk of bubble formation by increasing the solubility of nitrogen in the blood and explain the particular ecological niche the leatherback turtle occupies among marine reptiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diel foraging behavior of gravid leatherback sea turtles in deep waters of the Caribbean Sea
TL;DR: Although leatherbacks were found to opportunistically feed during the internesting interval, the low prey ingestion rates indicate that energy reserves acquired prior to the breeding season are critical for successful reproduction by leatherbacks from the St Croix, USVI nesting population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effects of vegetation management strategies on the survival of the leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea at Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands.
