Migratory marine species present challenges for conservation because of complex threats
within their pelagic dispersal zones, including coastal foraging areas and extensive …

Species with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) are likely to be impacted by
climate change. There is a paucity of data on the contemporary sex ratios of offspring …

Foraging success affects reproductive output in sea turtles, and is therefore an important
factor to measure in order to understand population dynamics. During 2010 and 2011, we …

Juvenile loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) from West Atlantic nesting beaches occupy
oceanic (pelagic) habitats in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, whereas larger …

Over the last decades, satellite tracking techniques have substantially advanced our
understanding of sea turtle spatial behaviour, especially for the post-nesting migrations of …

Many marine megavertebrate taxa, including sea turtles, disperse widely from their hatching
or birthing locations but display natal homing as adults. We used flipper tagging, satellite …

The freshwater pond turtle, Emys orbicularis, has recently suffered from population declines
throughout its range, mainly due to habitat destruction. The mating strategies of this species …

Adult sea turtles undertake periodic long-distance migrations between foraging and nesting
areas during breeding migrations, and an understanding the connectivity between these two …

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