Previous tagging studies of the movements of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) nesting at
Ascension Island have shown that they shuttle between this remote target in the Atlantic …

Four green turtle females were tracked by satellite during their post-reproductive migration in
the South China Sea. Three of them reached their feeding grounds 923–1551 km distant …

A female of Chelonia mydas was tracked by satellite in the South China Sea in 1993 from
the nesting beach to the resident foraging grounds more than 600 km away. The final leg of …

Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) swim from foraging grounds along the Brazilian coast to
Ascension Island to nest, over 2200 km distant in the middle of the equatorial Atlantic. To test …

Like many animals migrating through the oceans, sea turtles face difficult navigational tasks
when they have to reach distant, specific sites. The paradigmatic case of Brazilian green …

Satellite tracking has recently shown that the very long open-sea journeys of sea turtles and
albatrosses share several features, in spite of the different physiological and environmental …

The lives of sea turtles consist of a continuous series of migrations. As hatchlings, the turtles
swim from their natal beaches into the open sea,^"* often taking refuge in circular current …

The movements of 8 green turtles Chelonia mydas in Brazilian coastal waters were tracked
using transmitters linked to the Argos system for periods of between 1 and 197 d. These …

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 …

Adult sea turtles of several species migrate across vast expanses of ocean to arrive at
specific nesting areas and feeding sites. Two hypotheses have been proposed to account …
