This chapter will focus on the coastal and pelagic ocean habitats of leatherback turtles
(Dermochelys coriacea) in terms of migration, foraging, physiology, and dive behavior with …

Leatherback sea turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, undertake broad oceanic movements. While
satellite telemetry has been used to investigate the post-nesting behaviour of female turtles …

Leatherback sea turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, undertake broad oceanic movements while
traveling between breeding and foraging areas. While satellite telemetry has been used to …

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 …

Summary In 1873, Charles Darwin marveled at the ability of sea turtles to find isolated island
breeding sites [1], but the details of how sea turtles and other taxa navigate during these …

The survival of sea turtles is threatened by modern fishing methods, exploitation of eggs and
habitat destruction. Forming keystone species in the ocean, their extinction would disrupt the …

Foraging success for pelagic vertebrates may be revealed by horizontal and vertical
movement patterns. We show markedly different patterns for leatherback turtles in the North …

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 …

In recent years, information about the movements and timing of migration by male sea turtles
has begun to be unraveled. Here, we present the first satellite tracking of male loggerhead …
