Green turtles Chelonia mydas are endangered, long-lived marine reptiles that display an
ontogenetic shift in diet and habitat use during development. During their early life stage …

Differential habitat use and foraging behaviors at various life-stages within a population can
have profound consequences for survivorship, stage duration, and time to maturity. While …

Effective management of a rapidly increasing juvenile green sea turtle Chelonia mydas
population necessitates an understanding of the foraging grounds utilized throughout …

Adult green sea turtles Chelonia mydas are often the largest-bodied herbivores in their
communities and may play an important role in structuring seagrass and macroalgal …

The present study combines esophageal lavage (n= 74), stomach content (n= 52) and stable
isotope analysis (n= 126) to understand the ontogenetic dietary shift of green turtles …

Young green turtles (Chelonia mydas) spend their early lives as oceanic omnivores with a
prevalence of animal prey. Once they settle into neritic habitats (recruitment), they are …

Understanding the phase and timing of ontogenetic habitat shifts underlies the study of a
species' life history and population dynamics. This information is especially critical to the …

Young green turtles (Chelonia mydas) spend their early lives as oceanic omnivores, which
consume primarily animal prey. Once they settle into neritic habitats (recruitment), they …

Satellite telemetry and stable isotope analysis were used to confirm that oceanic areas
(where water depths are> 200 m) are alternative feeding habitats for adult female green sea …

While many migratory marine organisms converge at breeding areas, identifying foraging
strategies away from these reproductive sites can be challenging. Adult female green turtles …
