Pacific by satellite telemetry all travelled westward, against prevailing currents, along two …

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 …

Highly migratory marine species can travel long distances and across entire ocean basins to

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 …

Ocean currents profoundly impact all life in the oceans and over a broad size spectra
species may show both horizontal and vertical movements to stay on preferred locations. As …

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 …

Although oceanic dispersal in larval and juvenile marine animals is widely studied, the
relative contributions of swimming behavior and ocean currents to movements and …

The ability of captive-reared turtles to survive in the wild is not precisely known, nor are
