A review of long‐distance movements by marine turtles, and the possible role of ocean currents
Sea turtle movements often occur in open‐sea unsheltered areas, and are therefore likely to
be influenced by major oceanographic processes. Only recently has work started to examine …

Current transport of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in the ocean
While the long-distance movements of pelagic vertebrates are becoming known thanks to
satellite telemetry, the factors determining their courses have hardly been investigated. We …
