The use of satellite systems and manned aircraft surveys for remote data collection has been
shown to be transformative for sea turtle conservation and research by enabling the …

Long-term records of nesting numbers, or proxies to nesting numbers, show a precipitous
decline in the size of many sea turtle populations. Population declines are most frequently …

Although the use of satellite tracking to study the leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys
coriacea continues to increase, there has been little inquiry into the effects of this research …

We document a tendency for published estimates of population size in sea turtles to be
increasing rather than decreasing across the globe. To examine the population status of the …

Understanding the status of sea turtles is fundamental to their conservation. Clearly,
management decisions regarding common themes like bycatch reduction and nesting …

In 2010, an international group of 35 sea turtle researchers refined an initial list of more than
200 research questions into 20 metaquestions that were considered key for management …

Aim Tracking technologies are often proposed as a method to elucidate the complex
migratory life histories of migratory marine vertebrates, allowing spatially explicit threats to …

Tractable conservation measures for long-lived species require the intersection between
protection of biologically relevant life history stages and a socioeconomically feasible …

Home range analysis is a powerful tool for identifying priority areas for conservation, but
estimating the home range for many species is still challenging. In particular, highly mobile …

Accurate estimates of abundance are fundamental to the conservation of threatened
species, but are often difficult to obtain directly. Population size assessments of marine …
