Nest counts are often used as indices for nesting female abundance in marine turtle
monitoring, but accurately interpreting nest count trends requires context on the scale of …

In migratory marine species, demographic estimates are often generated from capture-mark-
recapture (CMR) studies conducted at terrestrial breeding sites. However, when logistical …

Abstract Capture–mark–recapture (CMR) studies on marine turtle nesting beaches provide
data on reproductive periodicity that inform population trends and models. Annual survival is …

Abundance is a key parameter for characterizing animal populations of conservation
concern. In sea turtles, annual clutch counts represent the most common population index …

Understanding population status and trends is important for developing and evaluating
management and conservation actions for threatened species. Monitoring population status …

Sea turtles have iteroparous reproduction, migrating periodically from foraging habitat to
nesting grounds where they generally lay several clutches at regular intervals throughout a …

Population abundance data are often used to define species' conservation status.
Abundance of marine turtles is typically estimated using nesting beach monitoring data such …

Satellite telemetry and ground-based tagging studies are complementary methods to define
the spatial and temporal patterns of nesting behavior by migratory sea turtles. Estimates of …

Accurate estimates of the annual numbers of nesting females are critical for assessing sea
turtle populations. Nesting by Kemp's ridley Lepidochelys kempii turtles has significantly …

Abstract Knowledge of demographic processes and life history strategies is necessary for
the conservation and management of endangered sea turtle populations, but it is difficult to …
