The Northwest Atlantic (NWA) leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) subpopulation was
recently classified as endangered. It nests in the Wider Caribbean Region and includes five …

Oceanic currents are known to broadly shape the dispersal of juvenile sea turtles during
their pelagic stage. Accordingly, simple passive drift models are widely used to investigate …

So little is known about the early life history of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea)
from hatchling to adulthood that this period has been termed the 'lost years'. For critically …

This study is the first report of post-nesting migrations of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta
caretta) nesting in Sarasota County (Florida, USA), their most important rookery in the Gulf of …

Abstract Background The Northwest Atlantic (NWA) leatherback turtle (Dermochelys
coriacea) subpopulation is one of the last healthy ones on Earth. Its conservation is thus of …

The number of nesting leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in the eastern Pacific
Ocean has declined dramatically since the late 1980s. This decline has been attributed to …

Simple Summary Tracking juvenile animals is often difficult due to their small body sizes. We
put miniature satellite tags on 40 captive-raised (“head-started”) green sea turtles (Chelonia …

Marine turtles are globally endangered species that spend more than 95% of their life cycle
in in-water habitats. Nevertheless, most of the conservation, recovery and research efforts …

Although sea turtles are well-studied charismatic marine species, little is known about the
juvenile stage, especially the oceanic phase between hatching on their natal beaches and …

Efforts to model populations of the leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea and design
appropriate conservation measures for this endangered species have been hindered by a …
