On this island there exist two discrete nesting areas: the North sector and the West sector. Nesting activity was greatest in both sectors during July. The number of nests was significantly higher in the North sector, whereas remarkably more attempts were observed in the West sector. Hatching success was also greater in the North sector where there were significantly more empty eggshells, mark of successful hatching, than in the West sector. Moreover, the number of dead embryos was significant in the West sector. The current study demonstrates a correlation between the choice of nesting area and hatching success.10aCaretta caretta10aHatching success10aLoggerhead10aNesting behaviour10aReptilia10asea turtle1 aSkoufas, G. uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/nesting-and-hatching-success-sea-turtle-caretta-caretta-marathonissi-island-zakynthos-ionian02395nas a2200217 4500008004100000245020500041210006900246260001200315300001000327490000700337520156300344653001901907653001801926653002001944653002001964653001301984653001501997100002202012700001502034856012802049 2001 eng d00aThe Loggerhead Turtle, Caretta caretta, population nesting in Kyparissia Bay, Peloponnesus, Greece: Results of beach surveys over seventeen seasons and determination of the core nesting habitat0 aLoggerhead Turtle iCaretta carettai population nesting in Kypari c2001/// a75-900 v243 aStandardized ground surveys over six nesting seasons (1984-1989) along 42 km of beach at Kyparissia Bay, western Peloponnesus (Greece) revealed uneven spatial distribution in the nesting activity of the Loggerhead Turtle, Caretta caretta. Further surveys (1990-2000) at the most turtle-frequented part of the bay and the inclusion of a new beach sector have led to the determination of a 9.5 km core area where about 84% of the total nesting effort concentrates with an average nesting density of 60.6 nests/km/season. The average nesting effort along the bay is estimated at about 620 nests/season and therefore Kyparissia Bay is considered the second most turtle-frequented nesting area in the Mediterranean after Zakynthos. In the course of seventeen seasons (1984-2000) no distinguishable trend in the annual number of nests has been detected, albeit the great annual fluctuations (reaching 324%) may hide it. Although the duration of the nesting season (82.7 days on the average) seems similar to respective values in Turkey and Cyprus, the start and end dates of nesting occur later than in the eastern beaches. Nesting success (i.e. percentage of emergences resulting in nests) decreases as the season progresses. Monthly distribution of nesting shows that 61.5% of nests at Kyparissia Bay are made in July and August, in contrast to nesting beaches in Turkey where the main bulk of nests are made in May and June. This geographical variation must be taken into account while planning and implementing regional management schemes in the Mediterranean.10aMarine turtles10aMediterranean10aNesting density10aNesting success10aReptilia10asea turtle1 aMargaritoulis, D.1 aRees, A.F. uhttps://icgf.myspecies.info/content/loggerhead-turtle-caretta-caretta-population-nesting-kyparissia-bay-peloponnesus-greece02084nas a2200277 4500008004100000245013800041210006900179260001200248300001200260490000800272520124500280653001601525653002001541653002601561653001301587653002101600653001801621653001301639653001501652100001801667700002001685700001801705700001901723700002201742856004201764 2006 eng d00aEffectiveness of different conservation measures for loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nests at Zakynthos Island, Greece0 aEffectiveness of different conservation measures for loggerhead c2006/// a324-3300 v1303 aIn this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of different well-tested conservation techniques in an effort to successfully protect sea turtle nests. From an eight-year study on the island of Zakynthos, West Greece, we have experimentally investigated the effectiveness of two different conservation techniques applied to loggerhead sea turtle nests and provided statistical measures to evaluate their conservation value. The categories of nests evaluated include: (i) nests incubated in situ, (ii) translocated into a beach hatchery, or (iii) protected by metal cages. Results of the analysis showed significant interannual variations in hatching success as obtained for each one of the three groups of nests. Significant differences were also observed when comparing hatching success data among the three groups of nests during the eight-year period. Overall, our results indicate that relocation of nests laid at highly threatened locations and the placement of protective cages on nests in situ provide adequate conservation measures that could allow an increase in hatchling production; although their choice and application should be based on the specific conditions and threats of each nest. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
