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 …

Leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea spend most of their life in oceanic environments,
whose physical and biological characteristics are primarily forged by sea current circulation …

During their offshore movements, leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, associate
frequently with ocean currents and mesoscale oceanographic features such as eddies, and …

While the long-distance movements of pelagic vertebrates are becoming known thanks to
satellite telemetry, the factors determining their courses have hardly been investigated. We …

Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) travel thousands of kilometres between
temperate feeding and tropical breeding/over-wintering grounds, with adult turtles able to …

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 …

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 …

As open sea navigators, green turtles Chelonia mydas have to deal with oceanic currents.
These currents may have a mechanical influence, forcing turtles away from their desired …

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 …

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