Trophic ecology of green sea turtles in a highly urbanized bay: Insights from stable isotopes and mixing models (2011, unknown): “…that at least some green turtle populations found in neritic habitats of the eastern Pacific Ocean are at times omnivorous, with diets consisting of combinations of invertebrates, marine algae, and seagrass (Amorcho and Reina, 2007; Carrion-Cortez et al., 2010; Lopez-Mendilaharsu et al., 2005).”
Trophic ecology of a green turtle breeding population (2013, unknown): “…population would align with the carnivorous foraging patterns of some Pacific populations determined through stable isotope ana - lysis, stomach contents, satellite tracking, and video analysis (Bjorndal 1997, Hatase et al. 2006, Amorocho & Reina 2007, Arthur et al. 2007, Lemons et al. 2011).”
Delayed ontogenic dietary shift and high levels of omnivory in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) from the NW coast of Africa (2009, background): “Indeed, evidence of omnivory had previously been reported for neritic juvenile and adult green turtles from the Mediterranean (Godley et al. 1998), Australia (Heithaus et al. 2002), Japan (Hatase et al. 2006) and western Colombia ( Amorocho and Reina 2007 ).”
Feeding ecology of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the Galapagos Islands (2010, background): “The consumption of this item by green turtles in the Galapagos Islands was previously reported by Pritchard (1971), and was reported in other foraging areas such as Gorgona Island (Colombia) (Amorocho & Reina, 2007) and Australia (Limpus & Limpus, 2000).”
Using gut contents to assess foraging patterns of juvenile green turtles Chelonia mydas in the Paranaguá Estuary, Brazil (2011, methodology): “Food contents were examined using the volume displacement method (Seminoff et al. 2002, Amorocho & Reina 2007, López-Mendilaharsu et al. 2008, Carrión-Cortez et al. 2010).”
