For those of you celebrating today 🎄🙌🏼🐢

Thank you all who made this possible!

Future directions: 🧐Does kemp ridleys observe the same effect? 🧐Larger samples size

What it means: Oxidative stress may be a trade-off for a reproductive mode that carries increased fitness benefits in a capital breeder

What we found: Arribadas had higher ⬆️Heavier ⬆️Progesterone ⬆️Thyroid hormones ⬆️Lipid peroxidation ⬆️Protein carbonyls

What we wanted: To explore the potential trade-offs of the fitness benefits associated with arribada nesting

Ridleys exhibit a polymorphic nesting behavior: Solitary = alone 🐢😕 Arribada = thousands of turtles nesting at once 🐢🐢🐢🐢🤩 Arribadas may provide fitness benefits 🧐 (i.e. mate finding or predator satiation), but the potential costs of arribada nesting remain understudied

Welcome to the last tweet in #SeaTurtleTalks "Oxidative stress: a cost to arribada nesting in olive ridley sea turtles" I'm Gabriela Arango, PhD candidate in the @JPVM_lab at the @berkeleyIB in UCB. Interested on 🐢💚 ✅Physiology ✅Arribadas ✅Oxidative stress ✅Hypoxia

Translated my research about olive ridley sea turtles into an infographic. Not sure if this is effective science communication but will like any feedback to make science more accessible #ScienceMatters #turtles link.springer.com/epdf/10.10…
