For most of their lifetime, sea turtles have to organize their underwater activities around the
necessity to return to the surface to breathe. This group of animals has developed …

Over recent years, a major breakthrough in marine animal tracking has occurred with the
advent of Fastloc‐GPS that provides highly accurate location data even for animals that only …

A large variety of marine animals migrate in the oceanic environment, sometimes aiming at
specific targets such as oceanic islands or offshore productive areas. Thanks to recent …

Previous studies have shown that the world's largest reptile–the leatherback turtle
Dermochelys coriacea–conducts flexible foraging migrations that can cover thousands of …

Assessing the movement patterns and key habitat features of breeding humpback whales is
a prerequisite for the conservation management of this philopatric species. To investigate …

Eastern Pacific populations of the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) have declined
by over 90% during the past three decades. The decline is primarily attributed to human …

Animal movements in air and water can be strongly affected by experienced flow. While
various flow-orientation strategies have been proposed and observed, their performance in …

Over the last decades, satellite tracking techniques have substantially advanced our
understanding of sea turtle spatial behaviour, especially for the post-nesting migrations of …

While our understanding of the early oceanic developmental stage of sea turtles has
improved markedly over recent decades, the spatial context for this life history stage remains …

Background The early life of marine apex predators is poorly known, particularly for diving
species. The orientation and foraging skills are presumably less developed in juveniles than …
