Abstract Knowledge of the spatial distribution of populations is fundamental to management
plans for any species. When tracking data are used to describe distributions, it is sometimes …

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 …

Photo identification involves classifying unique features of a specific individual. The
distinguishing feature used in most sea turtle photo ID studies are the scale patterns on the …

The prerogative of animal welfare science includes wild species and ecological studies. Yet,
guidance enshrined in legislation is narrowly derived from studies involving laboratory …

Understanding and mitigating potential effects of tags on instrumented animals is a crucial
consideration when developing new tracking techniques. Some populations of aquatic …

Fisheries bycatch is posited to be a leading cause of decline in abundance of Atlantic
leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea). However, although this species regularly …

Biologging best practices have been carefully considered since the field's inception six
decades ago. The biologging research community has reduced instrument impacts on study …

This study investigates the monitoring of green turtles (Chelonia mydas), a critically
endangered species, on the Pacific coasts of Panama. SPOT-375B satellite transmission …

Satellite telemetry provides spatial distribution data across populations and species. Multiple
sea turtle studies indicate variability in track durations both within and between species …

The Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is a globally vulnerable species
