We examined the effect of artificial light on the near shore trajectories of turtle hatchlings
dispersing from natal beaches. Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchlings were tagged with …

After emerging from nests, neonate sea turtles entering the water are thought to orientate
away from shore using wave cues to guide them out to sea. Artificial light may interfere with …

Dispersal during juvenile life stages drives the life-history evolution and dynamics of many
marine vertebrate populations. However, the movements of juvenile organisms, too small to …

Biologging data have provided important insights into the biology of marine mammals, sea
turtles, birds, fish, and some invertebrates. These techniques have primarily targeted adult …

Genetic structure and natal origins of green turtle mixed stocks in southern Brazil were
assessed based on analyses of mtDNA control region sequences from the Arvoredo Island …

Understanding the movements of turtle hatchings is essential for improved understanding of
dispersal behaviour and ultimately survivorship, life history strategies and population …

The ability of individuals to actively control their movements, especially during the early life
stages, can significantly influence the distribution of their population. Most marine turtle …

We review the current practices of podocnemidid turtle conservation programs in South
America and summarize the direct and indirect negative consequences that some of these …

Sea turtles found stranded on beaches are often rehabilitated before being released back
into the wild. The location and date of release is largely selected on an informal basis, which …

Turtles at the Rekawa sanctuary in Sri Lanka are under threat due to ongoing illegal
activities. This study estimates the entrance fee that can be charged to visitors for 'turtle …
