Long-distance dispersal and ontogenetic shifts in habitat use are characteristic of numerous
marine species and have important ecological, evolutionary, and management implications …

Ocean circulation models are widely used to simulate organism transport in the open sea,
where challenges of directly tracking organisms across vast spatial and temporal scales are …

Animals which undertake migrations from foraging grounds to suitable breeding areas must
adopt strategies in these new conditions in order to minimise the rate at which body …

How animals navigate across the ocean to isolated targets remains perplexing greater than
150 years since this question was considered by Charles Darwin. To help solve this long …

Sea turtles are known to perform long‐distance, oceanic migrations between disparate
feeding areas and breeding sites, some of them located on isolated oceanic islands. These …

Understanding how ocean currents impact the distribution and connectivity of marine
species, provides vital information for the effective conservation management of migratory …

Hatchling leatherback turtles can only swim forwards, and employ synchronized beating of
the forelimbs whether swimming slowly or quickly. The hind limbs make no contribution to …

Flipper-tagging, aerial surveys, and satellite telemetry was used to investigate the
occurrence, migratory routes, distances traveled, swimming speeds, diving behavior, and …

We used satellite telemetry to study postnesting migrations of 42 loggerhead sea turtles
Caretta caretta from 3 Florida rookeries. Postnesting migrations ended in neritic (< 200 m) …
