Apparent reduction in heart rate during oviposition revealed by non-invasive heart rate monitoring of gravid loggerhead turtles

Reproductive processes place significant physiological demands on animals, often accompanied by hormonal and neural changes. In this study, we examined changes in heart rate of gravid loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) during nesting activities on the beach, especially during egg-laying phase. To...
