As species of conservation concern, sea turtles have historically been difficult to study
because of their elusive nature and extensive ranges, but improvements in telemetry have …

Stable isotope analysis is a useful tool to track animal movements in both terrestrial and
marine environments. These intrinsic markers are assimilated through the diet and may …

Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGoM) loggerheads (Caretta caretta) make up one of the smallest
subpopulations of this threatened species and have declining nest numbers. We used …

For many marine species, locations of migratory pathways are not well defined. We used
satellite telemetry and switching state-space modeling (SSM) to define the migratory corridor …

Movement and space use information of exploited and imperiled coastal species is critical to
management and conservation actions. While satellite telemetry has been successfully used …

In highly mobile philopatric species, defining the scale of natal homing is fundamental to
characterizing population dynamics and effectively managing distinct populations. Genetic …

In the face of environmental change, high-quality and fine-scale information is essential in
order to monitor the highly dynamic environments on land and sea. While traditional …

Background For imperiled marine turtles, use of satellite telemetry has proven to be an
effective method in determining long distance movements. However, the large size of the …

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill and associated response activities overlapped
with habitats for multiple life stages of federally protected sea turtles in the northern Gulf of …

Estimates of parameters that affect population dynamics, including the size at which
individuals reproduce, are crucial for efforts aimed at understanding how imperiled species …
