• Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research (2016, background): “It is possible that the sublethal effects of plastic ingestion, including dietary dilution, reduced energy levels, and chemical contamination, may lead to a depressed immune system function resulting in an increased vulnerability to diseases, such as fibropapillomatosis (Landsberg et al., 1999; Agui”
• Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, background): “Impaired waterways are often hotspots for FP (Aguirre & Lutz 2004), and eutrophication has re cently been linked as a potential key factor (Van Houtan et al. 2010; see Q16).”
