“…The loggerhead turtle is considered globally vulnerable under the current criteria of the IUCN Red List (criterion A2b) (IUCN-2020-1) ( Casale & Tucker, 2017 ) and is critically endangered (CR A2cd) under the red reptile book for Colombia ( Morales-Betancourt, Páez y & Lasso, 2015 ). Nesting female populations have dropped considerably from 600 females arriving in the Colombian Caribbean in 1979 to just 6–10 today ( Moreno Munar & Marino, 2017 ; Ramìrez-Gallego & Barrientos-Muñoz, 2020 ). Amaya-Espinel & Zapata (2014) estimate this species is practically extinct in Colombia, and the few females that still nest only do so between the Palomino River (La Guajira) and the Piedras River (Magdalena).…”

The aim of this study was to generate and analyze the atlas of the loggerhead turtle blood transcriptome by RNA-seq, as well as identify and characterize thioredoxin (Tnxs) and peroxiredoxin (Prdxs) antioxidant enzymes of the greatest interest in the control of peroxide levels and other biological functions. The transcriptome of loggerhead turtle was sequenced using the Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform and de novo assembly was performed using the Trinity pipeline. The assembly comprised 515,597 contigs with an N50 of 2,631 bp. Contigs were analyzed with CD-Hit obtaining 374,545 unigenes, of which 165,676 had ORFs encoding putative proteins longer than 100 amino acids. A total of 52,147 (31.5%) of these transcripts had significant homology matches in at least one of the five databases used. From the enrichment of GO terms, 180 proteins with antioxidant activity were identified, among these 28 Prdxs and 50 putative Tnxs. The putative proteins of loggerhead turtles encoded by the genes Prdx1, Prdx3, Prdx5, Prdx6, Txn and Txnip were predicted and characterized in silico. When comparing Prdxs and Txns of loggerhead turtle with homologous human proteins, they showed 18 (9%), 52 (18%) 94 (43%), 36 (16%), 35 (33%) and 74 (19%) amino acid mutations respectively. However, they showed high conservation in active sites and structural motifs (98%), with few specific modifications. Of these, Prdx1, Prdx3, Prdx5, Prdx6, Txn and Txnip presented 0, 25, 18, three, six and two deleterious changes. This study provides a high quality blood transcriptome and functional annotation of loggerhead sea turtles.

“…La tortuga carey (Eretmochelys imbricata) es considerada la especie de tortuga marina con mayor sobreexplotación antropogénica, con una disminución > 80 % de su población mundial (Meylan y Donelly, 1999;Mortimer y Donnelly, 2008;Barrientos et al, 2015; Ramírez-Gallego y Barrientos-Muñoz, 2020). Se encuentra categorizada En Peligro Crítico (CR) de extinción en la lista roja de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN) (Mortimer y Donnelly, 2008) y bajo la misma categoría a nivel nacional en el Libro rojo de reptiles de Colombia (Barrientos et al, 2015).…”

“…The hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is considered the species of sea turtle with the greatest anthropogenic overexploitation, with a > 80 % decrease in its world population (Meylan and Donelly, 1999;Mortimer and Donnelly, 2008;Barrientos et al, 2015;Ramírez-Gallego and Barrientos-Muñoz, 2020). The hawksbill turtle is classified as Critically Endangered (CR) on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (Mortimer and Donnelly, 2008) and under the same category at the national level in the Red Book of Reptiles of Colombia (Barrientos et al, 2015).…”

La tortuga carey del Pacífico oriental es una de las unidades regionales de manejo más amenazadas del mundo. En el Pacífico colombiano ha sido avistada en áreas de alimentación y en estadios juveniles y/o subadultos. Sus zonas y temporada de anidación son desconocidas para el país. El 24 de febrero de 2020, se registra la primera hembra de tortuga carey para el Pacífico colombiano, en el Mosaico de Conservación Bahía Málaga. El largo curvo mínimo del caparazón fue de 90 cm, el largo curvo del caparazón nucalsupracuadal fue de 90,5 cm, el ancho curvo del caparazón fue de 73,6 cm y su peso fue de 69 kg. La presencia de una hembra y ser la principal zona de alimentación y residencia de juveniles y subadultos de la especie en el Pacífico de Colombia hace indispensable continuar con el monitoreo sistemático en agua e identificar y monitorear potenciales sitios de anidación para aportar a la conservación de la tortuga carey del Pacífico oriental.
