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 …

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 …

Ocean currents play an important role in the movement and distribution of organisms and for
small animals it is often assumed that their movements in the ocean are determined by …

While scientists have been monitoring the movements and diving behaviour of sea turtles
using Argos platform terminal transmitters for decades, the precise navigational mechanisms …

Here we tested whether the dispersal of loggerhead sea turtles in the western
Mediterranean was affected by the pattern of surface currents and whether temporary …

Young loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from eastern Florida, USA, undertake a
transoceanic migration in which they gradually circle the Sargasso Sea before returning to …

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

Oceanic currents are known to broadly shape the dispersal of juvenile sea turtles during
their pelagic stage. Accordingly, simple passive drift models are widely used to investigate …

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 …
