Following our article about plastic additives in marine turtles (lnkd.in/exEkcwqN), here we investigate their exposure to PFAS (lnkd.in/e2Mfip8b) and we analyze two biomarkers of stress. 🌊

Sadly, pollution always finds its way into wildlife...

Green turtle tracking leads the discovery of seagrass blue carbon resources | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Seagrass meadows are natural carbon sinks, and their conservation and restoration play a crucial role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. However, blue carbon projects are hindered, in most n...

Excited to share our research on the ability of green turtles to identify seagrass blue carbon resources. Thank you to @carlosduartephd.bsky.social for the opportunity to work on this.
