We aimed to identify patterns in the internal distribution of persistent organic pollutants
(POPs) and assess contributing factors using sea turtles and their offspring as a case study …

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 …

A trophic niche overlap in native and alien turtle species can lead to competitive interactions
whereby allochthonous turtles may outcompete autochthonous individuals and eventually …

We examined the maternal transfer of organochlorine contaminants (OCs), pesticides
(DDTS and HCHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and the temporal variation of …

Stable isotope analysis can be used to infer geospatial linkages of highly migratory species.
Identifying foraging grounds of marine organisms from their isotopic signatures is becoming …

Intrapopulation variation in habitat use is commonly seen among mobile animals, yet the
mechanisms maintaining it have rarely been researched among untrackable species. To …

Differential foraging area use can affect population demographics of highly migratory fauna
because of differential environmental changes and anthropogenic threats among those …

The circulation in the Western Equatorial Atlantic is characterized by a highly dynamic
mesoscale activity that shapes the Guiana continental shelf. Olive ridley sea turtles …

Collecting tissue samples from sea turtles for stable isotope analysis often occurs at remote
field sites. For blood tissue, samples are treated with an anticoagulant that allows for later …

Marine mammals and turtles are often studied using the carcasses of stranded dead
individuals. Since decomposition processes might modify the stable isotope ratios of tissues …
