Few data are available on the movements and behavior of immature Atlantic loggerhead
sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from their seasonal neritic foraging grounds within the western …

Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are endangered, and declining population
trends suggest that they are vulnerable to becoming extinct in the Pacific Ocean. Population …

To assess population genetic structure and evolutionary relationships among nesting
populations of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), we analyzed mitochondrial (mt) DNA …

Understanding reproductive biology is important to elucidate the ecology and life history of
animals and is needed to predict population dynamics and demography for conservation …

Leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea exhibit superlative measures of size, growth, and
fecundity among reptiles, yet factors affecting these variables remain poorly studied. We …

The somatic growth dynamics of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) resident in five separate
foraging grounds within the Hawaiian Archipelago were assessed using a robust non …

The emergence patterns of both green (Chelonia mydas) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta)
turtle hatchlings were observed in great detail over three seasons at Alagadi beach …

For species reaching maturity at a range of ages or sizes, factors that influence juvenile
growth and size at maturity may have lasting impacts on overall fitness. Assessing when …

Growth dynamics helps to elucidate demographic aspects, such as age at specific size and
size at maturity or first reproduction, which are important for sea turtle management. The …

Measuring growth rates of sea turtles under natural conditions has received increased
attention since it became clear that growth rates of wild turtles are much slower than those of …
