Global dataset on trace elements in green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas): methodological parameters and spatiotemporal coverage (1994–2021) Flavia Ane Ferreira (25090729) Karoline Fernanda Ferreira Agostinho (10407084) Carlos Eduardo Veiga de Carvalho (25098454) Pollution and contamination not elsewhere classified Trace elements Environmental aspects trace elements contamination Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) Heavy metals Environmental aspects systematic review highlights geographic gaps <p dir="ltr">This dataset compiles and systematizes 266 trace element events in the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), compiled from scientific sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and specialized newsletters) published between 1994 and 2021. As a metadata synthesis, this dataset aims to establish a resource for mapping the global landscape of ecotoxicological research, identifying analytical gaps, and evaluating long-term monitoring trends. The dataset documents the occurrence of trace element investigations, including the chemical elements analyzed, target biological tissues, reported measurement bases (dry or wet weight), measurement units, and analytical instrumentation used for detection and quantification. Demographic metadata, including life stage, sex, and sample sizes (N), were cataloged using standardized classifications based on the information reported in primary sources. Spatially, the dataset provides global geographical coverage, with spatial coordinates standardized to decimal degrees, either directly extracted from primary sources or manually georeferenced based on reported geographic locations. This dataset provides a foundational framework for assessing historical research patterns, supporting systematic reviews, and guiding evidence-based conservation strategies for <i>Chelonia mydas</i>. </p> 2026-09-23T15:24:34Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.33973483.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Global_dataset_on_trace_elements_in_green_sea_turtles_Chelonia_mydas_methodological_parameters_and_spatiotemporal_coverage_1994_2021_/33973483 CC BY 4.0
