The Add‐my‐Pet collection of data on energetics and Dynamic Energy Budget parameters currently contains 92 species of turtles and 23 species of crocodiles. We discuss patterns of eco‐physiological traits of turtles and crocodiles, as functions of parameter values, and compare them with other taxa.

Energetics is a very important field of study in that it can determine the amount of usable energy in a given source (e.g. food or residual yolk) and comparing it to energy expended by the animal, the requirements of the animal can be calculated.

2011年12月1日 · The aim of our study was (1) to investigate the energy expenditure of adult green turtles during rest and when swimming in a 13 m-long channel; (2) to investigate the effect of seasonal changes in water temperature on turtle energy expenditure; and (3) to test the hypothesis that turtle body acceleration can be used as a proxy for energy ...

Young (mean mass 735 g) green turtles (Chelonia my das) were able to swim in a water channel at sustained speeds between 0·14 and 0·35 m.s −1. Oxygen consumption at rest was 0·07kg −1. h −1; at maximum swimming speed oxygen consumption was 3–4 times greater than at rest for a given individual.

2025年1月27日 · There are seven extant species of sea turtles (Fig. 1): the leatherback turtle (D. coriacea), Kemp’s ridley turtle (L. kempii), olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), green turtle (C ...

2021年10月1日 · The Add-my-Pet (AmP) collection of data on energetics and Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) parameters currently contains 92 species of turtles and 23 species of crocodiles. We discuss patterns...

2017年5月1日 · Focusing on the loggerhead turtle and one of its largest nesting aggregations, the North Atlantic population (TEWG, 2009), we aim to reconstruct the energy budget of this species from existing data. We begin with a brief overview of loggerhead turtle physiology and ecology.

2022年6月11日 · The Add-my-Pet collection of data on energetics and Dynamic Energy Budget parameters currently contains 92 species of turtles and 23 species of crocodiles. We discuss patterns of...

2011年8月4日 · Measuring the energy expenditure of sea turtles has a number of important applications in terms of understanding their ecology as well as informing their conservation. For instance, a particularly urgent example is ascertaining the survival time of sea turtles trapped in fishing nets (shrimp trawls, pound nets, bottom gillnets).

2022年2月5日 · We measured the frenzy and post-frenzy oxygen consumption of hatchlings of five species of sea turtle at different activity levels and ages to compare the ontogeny of mass-specific hatchling metabolic rates.
