[HTML][HTML] Movement Patterns for a Critically Endangered Species, the Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), Linked to Foraging Success and Population Status
Foraging success for pelagic vertebrates may be revealed by horizontal and vertical
movement patterns. We show markedly different patterns for leatherback turtles in the North …

Flexible foraging movements of leatherback turtles across the North Atlantic Ocean
Some marine species have been shown to target foraging at particular hotspots of high prey
abundance. However, we show here that in the year after a nesting season, female …
