Research Update! I collected blood samples from nesting green & loggerhead #seaturtles to begin to connect sea turtle #health & #ecology-funded by the #SeaTurtleGrantsProgram ($: sale of the FL #SeaTurtleLicensePlates!) Stay tuned for the results!

To the #SERSTM2023 attendees, I think it would be helpful to get a count of how many people came home with COVID. And it may help folks make decisions before #ISTS41_Cartagena. Please RT.
38%Tested positive for COVID
41%Tested negative for COVID
3%Not tested, but symptoms
19%Not tested, no symptoms

I had so much fun presenting updated data from my summer research at #SERSTM this week! I estimated the diet composition of oceanic juvenile green and kemp's ridley turtles using a stable isotope mixing model
The @ucfturtlelab showcased some of our research at #serstm2023 this week along with many other talented scientists from the #seaturtle community! We even had opening remarks from @wildcorwin!
🧵Check out the results!
And a special shout out to @jeenmarine and @biologist_abby for their support at their first conference as UCF MTRG members!
Very exciting talk and paper by @Matt_D_Ramirez and coauthors looking at hawksbill #seaturtle diet and growth rates! #ecology #stableisotopes #serstm2023
Excited to share our recently published work at #SERSTM linking diet and growth variation in critically endangered #hawksbill #seaturtles. Longer post coming next week, but in the meantime you can check out the #OpenAccess pub here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Had a good #fieldwork day on the #IndianRiverLagoon yesterday - hot but beautiful weather, no code Ms 🐬, three #seaturtle captures, a large (& successfully released) bull #shark, & a rockstar #UCFTurtleLab crew!
Update #2: My work extends across #seaturtle life stages, including juveniles in central #FL! I'm collecting blood from🐢at our long-term, year-round sites & more trips coming soon!

Blood sampled from a juvenile loggerhead sea turtle during permitted sea turtle research @UCFTurtleLab (MTP-231, NMFS 19508)
Project Update #1: I collected all of my #seaturtle blood samples from our #FL nesting beach, #ACNWR (n=240)!
Next up: evaluate proteins, biochemistry, & white blood cells to compare to 🐢 & environ. data
Funding: #SeaTurtleGrantsProgram & #SeaTurtleLicensePlates (MTP-171)
A special thanks to all that have helped me in the field for the past 3 nesting seasons, particularly the @UCFTurtleLab field crews past and present!

Congrats to @SeaKatrina, @KaptainRose, and (Twitter-less) Gustavo on a pivotal paper!!#seaturtles #conservation #genetics
New paper out in @Ecol_Evol evaluating the sea turtle mtDNA gene tree across species, life stages, and ocean basins. 🌊🐢🧬
