Moreover, the sexual dimorphism was characterized by the females of each population being less domed and with slightly longer and wider carapaces than males (table of discriminant coefficients not shown).
We satellite-tracked 30 loggerhead turtles (curved carapace length (CCL); 72±9 cm, mean±SD; Table S1) from the Pacific coast of BCS from 1996 2005 to document loggerhead movement (mean track duration = 205±176 days and length = 5,041±4,460 km; Table S2).
Another adult male was buried in a recumbent pose seated on the carapace of a mud turtle (Figure 5A C; Table 2, dates 9, 10, midpoint average 4635 B.C.E).
The development of the eye [ 1, 2], brain [ 3, 4], carapace [reviewed in [ 5]], and gonads (Table 1); and the role of specific hormones [reviewed in [ 6]] have all been briefly studied but these studies have focused on the orthologs of genes already known to have a role in human and mouse development.
Gently fold up the sides of the carapace to reveal the lungs and, using a table knife, sweep these out of the crab.
There was no difference in body mass or carapace length between hatchlings from the T3dm <34°C and T3dm >34°C nests (Table 2).
Goodall's F test showed significant differences of the mean carapace shapes relative to within group variances in nine of ten comparisons (Table 1).
Therefore the sum of the heat lost from the plastron, carapace and flippers (ie. qT) will allow prediction of total heat produced (Table 1 and 2).
Hatchlings from the T3dm <34°C nests had a wider carapace than hatchlings from the T3dm >34°C nests and consequently a larger carapace size index (Table 2).
The carapaces range in length from 8 83 mm and from 9 133 mm in width (Table 1), with adult specimens having a length/width ratio of between 0.55 and 0.62; the length/width ratio increases in the juveniles, up to a maximum of 0.83.
