Morão, Inês; Simões, Tiago; Busom Casado, Roger; Vieira, Sara; Ferreira-Airaud, Betânia; Caliani, Ilaria; Di Noi, Agata; Casini, Silvia; Fossi, Maria C.Metals and metalloids can pose a significant threat to sea turtles, as these contaminants tend to accumulate in their bodies over time, due to their long lifespans and varied feeding habits. São Tomé and Príncipe's archipelago hosts the last remaining rookery for hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in the region. The study aimed to determine the levels of metals and metalloids accumulated by this pop...

Morão, Inês F.C.; Simões, Tiago; Casado, Roger B.; Vieira, Sara; Ferreira-Airaud, Betânia; Caliani, Ilaria; Noi, Agata Di; Casini, SilviaSea turtles, with their global distribution and complex life cycle, often accumulate pollutants such as metals and metalloids due to their extended lifespan and feeding habits. However, there are limited studies exploring the impact of metal pollution on the reproductive health of female sea turtles, specifically focusing on the quality of their eggs, which has significant implications for the future generation...
