In total, 434 dead, stranded green turtles Chelonia mydas were evaluated through necropsy and skeletochronological analysis to characterize morphology, sex, body condition, disease status, age structure, and growth patterns. Standard straightline carapace lengths ranged from 18.1 to 78.5 cm (mean ± SD = 36.3 ± 10.4 cm) and did not significantly differ from those of stranded green turtles that survived this event. Preva- lence of fibropapilloma (FP) was low, at 6%, and sex ratio was significantly biased toward females (2.45F:1M). Age estimates ranged from 2 to 22 yr (mean ± SD = 9 ± 4 yr) and female age distribution was significantly greater than that of males. Mean stage durations, as calculated through sum m - ation of size class-specific growth rates and fitting smoothing spline models to length-at-age data, were similar and ranged from 17 to 20 yr. Generalized additive models and generalized additive mixed models were used to assess the potential influence of discrete and continuous covariates on growth rates. Somatic growth was significantly influenced by size, age, and calendar year; however, no effect of sex, FP status, or body condition was found. Increased understanding of pop - ulation parameters will improve population models for the species and can also serve as a reference for assessing potential effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.}, journal={Marine Ecology Progress Series}, publisher={Inter-Research Science Center}, author={Avens, L and Goshe, LR and Harms, CA and Anderson, ET and Goodman Hall, A

Reports have focused on the physiologic changes caused by cold-stunning in Kemp's Ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) and loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), but few have evaluated the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas). This study evaluated hematologic and serum biochemical profiles of cold-stunned green sea turtles in North Carolina, USA. When compared with healthy, free-ranging juvenile green turtles from the same region, cold-stunned turtles exhibited hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia (both total and ionized calcium), hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypoproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevations in uric acid and blood urea nitrogen. These findings contrast with some previously reported changes in cold-stunned Kemp's Ridley and loggerhead sea turtles. These results emphasize the importance of basing therapeutic regimens on biochemical analyses in cold-stunned sea turtles.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine}, publisher={American Association of Zoo Veterinarians}, author={Anderson, Eric T. and Harms, Craig A. and Stringer, Elizabeth M. and Cluse, Wendy M.}, year={2011}, month={Jun}, pages={247–255} } @article{anderson_davis_law_lewbart_christian_harms_2010, title={Gross and histologic evaluation of 5 suture materials in the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the california sea hare (Aplysia californica)}, volume={49}, number={1}, journal={Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science}, author={Anderson, E.

However, reports of SCC invading vasculature or metastasizing in snakes are lacking. This report documents a case of SCC in an adult male eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus adamanteus) with a unique presentation and invasion into several small- to medium-sized vessels, suggestive of a metastatic process. What was initially suspected to be an abscessed tail was ultimately determined to be SCC originating at the base of the rattle.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE}, author={Anderson, Eric T. and Kennedy-Stoskopf, Suzanne and Sandy, Jeanine R. and Dorn, Brian and Boyette, Trent and Harms, Craig A.}, year={2010}, month={Dec}, pages={745–748} }
