A loggerhead's body temperature increases in warmer waters more quickly than it decreases in colder water; their critical thermal maximum is currently unknown. [48] In February 2015, a live loggerhead turtle was found floating in British Columbian waters of 10.5 °C (50.9 °F) with extensive algal growth on its carapace.
Sea turtles will move north during spring and summer seasons to more nutrient rich bodies of water. In fall and winter seasons, they will migrate back in a southward direction. [5] Loggerhead Sea Turtle. Sea turtles are considered ectothermic non-avian reptiles. Temperature has a major effect on both metabolic and physiological process of the ...
A loggerhead sea turtle exits from a fishing net through a turtle excluder device (TED) ... scientist can identify differences in the water (temperature and salinity ...
The Mud Hole submarine discharge vent is a significant research site because its warm, mineral rich fresh water discharge provides a sustained, consistent site of deep-water upwelling in the Gulf of Mexico. The upwelling carries nutrients, mineral and fresh water to the sea surface. [4] Karst springs occur both onshore and offshore in Florida.
I’ve been lucky enough to have explored both Indonesian and Maldivian depths, and although the water might be warmer that side of the Indian Ocean (Sodwana’s sea temperature ranges from 17 to ...
Kyle Van Houtan was dogged by salinity problems in Loggerhead's turtle tanks and staffers and volunteers who took issue with his leadership style. Loggerhead Center CEO resigns after water quality ...
Temperature-dependent sex determination was first described in Agama agama in 1966 by Madeleine Charnier. [18] A 2015 study found that hot temperatures altered the expression of the sex chromosomes in Australia's bearded dragon lizards. The lizards were female in appearance and were capable of bearing offspring, despite having the ZZ ...
Scientists thought that Lake Enigma was frozen from top to bottom. Then they discovered that water—and mysterious lifeforms—existed 11 meters below the surface.
