The last article I will share comes from the Journal of Experimental Biology 205: 1853-1860 titled: Salt and water regulation by the leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea.
Once again, very few references out of the 45 from this article come from a text. Our friend Biology of Sea Turtles (CRC Press) is referenced twice. Handbook of Turtles (Cornell University Press), The Biochemical Basis of Neuropharmacology (Oxford University Press) are the other text references.
As you might guess by the title of the article, Biology and Physiology journals dominate the list of references. American Journal of Physiology, Comparative Biochemistry & Physiology, American Journal of Physiology, Journal of Comparative Physiology, Journal of Experimental Biology and Copeia.
American Journal of Anatomy, Journal of Herpetology, Science, Herpetologica, Nature, Journal of Experimental Zoology are referenced. This article had more references to what I would call lay people magazines, Science and Nature were referenced several times each. The Marine Turtle Newsletter and the Fisheries Bulletin rounds out the field.
As I found in the other articles, the amount of information that is gleaned from scientific journals far outweighs any other source. Newsletters, bulletins, proceedings from symposiums and societies dedicated to the study of turtles, their physiological characteristics and the influence of ecology on their lives link these dedicated scientists together.
