Effective conservation strategies for highly migratory species must incorporate information
about long-distance movements and locations of high-use foraging areas. However, the …

Stable isotope analysis has provided insight into the dietary and habitat patterns of many
birds, mammals and teleost fish. A crucial biological parameter to interpret field stable …

There is growing evidence for individuality in dietary preferences and foraging behaviors
within populations of various species. This is especially important for apex predators, since …

Differential habitat use and foraging behaviors at various life-stages within a population can
have profound consequences for survivorship, stage duration, and time to maturity. While …

1. The use of stable isotope analysis (SIA) in ecological research has dramatically increased
in recent years largely because it allows researchers to investigate ecological questions that …

While many migratory marine organisms converge at breeding areas, identifying foraging
strategies away from these reproductive sites can be challenging. Adult female green turtles …

The green turtle, Chelonia mydas, is a circumglobal species that is susceptible to
overexploitation as a food resource, incidental mortality in fisheries, and coastal foraging …

Hawksbill sea turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata, are closely associated with coral reef and
other hard-bottom habitats. Seagrass pastures are peripheral habitats for Caribbean …

Young green turtles (Chelonia mydas) spend their early lives as oceanic omnivores with a
prevalence of animal prey. Once they settle into neritic habitats (recruitment), they are …

Stable-isotope analysis (SIA) has revolutionized animal ecology by providing time-
integrated estimates of the use of resources and/or habitats. SIA is based on the premise …
