Product Description
The world's leading sea turtle biologists explore the biology of a species threatened with extinction. Sea turtles have been the focus of research and intense conservation efforts for decades and the loggerhead sea turtle, currently listed as a threatened species, is arguably one of the best studied of the seven species. Loggerhead Sea Turtles brings together, for the first time, international experts to synthesize the knowledge of loggerhead biology and conservation and sets the stage for future ecological, biological, and conservation research. Highly detailed coverage includes diet, growth, nesting, migration, habitat selection, and conservation. 87 b/w illustrations. |

All that is known about Caretta caretta... 
Wonderfully useful book for people who want to know everything about the Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta). Or, as was the case for us, want to build one to scale in paper mache. Although... it claims the average SCL of Loggerheads is 831 cm. A 27 foot long sea turtle? I don't think so. (Ab Bolton, you may want to correct that table in the next edition to say mm, not cm).
Anyway, a very thorough coverage of the Loggerhead from genetics to ecological impact. As it covers what is known about the Loggerhead, it also identifies areas that require further research.
