Some marine species have been shown to target foraging at particular hotspots of high prey
abundance. However, we show here that in the year after a nesting season, female …

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

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 …

Background Leatherback turtles are renowned for their trans-oceanic migrations. However,
despite numerous movement studies, the precise drivers of movement patterns in …

Remote tracking of migratory species and statistical modeling of behaviors have enabled
identification of areas that are of high ecological value to these widely distributed taxa …

Diel diving patterns have been widely documented among plankton-feeding marine
vertebrates. In many cases, these patterns have been interpreted as a response to the diel …

Despite decades of conservation efforts on the nesting beaches, the critical status of
leatherback turtles shows that their survival predominantly depends on our ability to reduce …

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 …

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

Despite extensive work carried out on leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in the
North Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, very little is known of the at-sea distribution of this species in …
