The biology of the endangered leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) at sea is poorly
understood. As research has been almost exclusively limited to studies of nesting females …

Tracks of marine animals in the wild, now increasingly acquired by electronic tagging of
individuals, are of prime interest not only to identify habitats and high-risk areas, but also to …

This study is the first report of post-nesting migrations of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta
caretta) nesting in Sarasota County (Florida, USA), their most important rookery in the Gulf of …

Mesoscale physical features as fronts and eddies appear to play a key role in the dynamics
of marine communities. In the Indian Ocean, the Mozambique Channel (MC) is a natural …

Animals navigate over a range of distances, but it has been the global navigation of species
migrating among spatially restricted, seasonal homes separated by thousands of kilometers …

Leatherback sea turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, are highly migratory predators that feed
exclusively on gelatinous zooplankton, thus playing a unique role in coastal and pelagic …

Despite increasing evidence that marine predators associate with mesoscale eddies, how
these marine features influence foraging movements is still unclear. This study investigates …

Abstract During 1955–2003, flipper tags were attached to 46,983 green turtles and ten
turtles were fitted with satellite transmitters at Tortuguero, Costa Rica. Eight satellite-tracked …

Long-term records of nesting numbers, or proxies to nesting numbers, show a precipitous
decline in the size of many sea turtle populations. Population declines are most frequently …

Sea turtles are highly migratory and usually dispersed, but aggregate off beaches during the
nesting season, rendering them vulnerable to coastal threats. Consequently, coastal Marine …
