New loggerhead turtle females in the southeast US exhibit lower site fidelity than experienced mothers. Very cool DNA work by Kristina Shamlin, Shamblin Lab at UGA. #KBSTRRC contributes data from #TopsailIsland #nesting #loggerhead #seaturtles to this project. #nesting #serstm2025

"Sea turtle hearing sensitivity improves as temperature increases," found Charles Muirhead of @duke-university.bsky.social. Fascinating research with implications for how well #seaturtles can respond to acoustic threats in different water temps. Some of the work happened at #KBSTRRC! #serstm2025
