During their offshore movements, leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, associate
frequently with ocean currents and mesoscale oceanographic features such as eddies, and …

Leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea spend most of their life in oceanic environments,
whose physical and biological characteristics are primarily forged by sea current circulation …

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 …

The open-sea movements of marine animals are affected by the drifting action of currents
that, if not compensated for, can produce non-negligible deviations from the correct route …

Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) travel thousands of kilometres between
temperate feeding and tropical breeding/over-wintering grounds, with adult turtles able to …

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 …

Sea turtles have recently been shown to have the sensory ability to use magnetic
information for guidance in the open ocean, although the importance of different potential …

The movement of juvenile loggerhead turtles (n= 42) out-fitted with satellite tags and
released in oceanic waters off New Caledonia was examined and compared with ocean …

Previous studies have shown that loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), monitored by
satellite telemetry, complete long-distance migration between the western and eastern …

Background Leatherback turtles are renowned for their trans-oceanic migrations. However,
