Welcome to the last tweet in #SeaTurtleTalks "Oxidative stress: a cost to arribada nesting in olive ridley sea turtles" I'm Gabriela Arango, PhD candidate in the @JPVM_lab at the @berkeleyIB in UCB. Interested on 🐢💚 ✅Physiology ✅Arribadas ✅Oxidative stress ✅Hypoxia

Ridleys exhibit a polymorphic nesting behavior: Solitary = alone 🐢😕 Arribada = thousands of turtles nesting at once 🐢🐢🐢🐢🤩 Arribadas may provide fitness benefits 🧐 (i.e. mate finding or predator satiation), but the potential costs of arribada nesting remain understudied
