Climate change is a threat to marine turtles that is expected to affect all of their life stages. To
guide future research, we conducted a review of the most recent literature on this topic …

Morphology forms the most fundamental level of data in vertebrate palaeontology because it
is through interpretations of morphology that taxa are identified, creating the basis for broad …

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

In-water behaviour and long-term movements of oceanic-stage juvenile sea turtles are not
well described or quantified. This is owing to technological or logistical limitations of tracking …

Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature
life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large …

Somatic growth is an integrated, individual‐based response to environmental conditions,
especially in ectotherms. Growth dynamics of large, mobile animals are particularly useful as …

Age at maturation data are integral to understanding dynamics of threatened and
endangered sea turtle populations. However, full characterization of this parameter requires …

For species reaching maturity at a range of ages or sizes, factors that influence juvenile
growth and size at maturity may have lasting impacts on overall fitness. Assessing when …

Restricted range, and subsequently small population size, render Kemp's ridley sea turtles
(Lepidochelys kempii) the most globally endangered sea turtle species. For at least two …

Around the world, declines in the mean size of nesting sea turtles have been reported with
concerns of a concomitant decrease in the reproductive output of populations. Here, we …
