This project investigates the health of sea turtles by studying the diatoms that grow on their skin. It aims to develop non-invasive tools for monitoring the health of these animals and assessing marine ecosystem health.
Diatoms, unicellular algae, grow on a wide range of submerged surfaces.
However, some diatom species and even entire genera (Chelonicola, Poulinea, Tursiocola) are highly specialised and thrive exclusively on the surface of glabrous aquatic animals (sea turtles, sea snakes, cetaceans, manatees).
These taxa tolerate frequent environmental changes related to the biology and lifestyle of their hosts but, in nature, cannot survive without them.
We will use sea turtle biofilm samples to investigate w…
