guide future research, we conducted a review of the most recent literature on this topic …

First Atlantic satellite tracks of 'lost years' green turtles support the importance of the Sargasso Sea as a sea turtle nursery

KL Mansfield, J Wyneken, J Luo - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In-water behaviour and long-term movements of oceanic-stage juvenile sea turtles are not
well described or quantified. This is owing to technological or logistical limitations of tracking …

Informing research priorities for immature sea turtles through expert elicitation

NE Wildermann, C Gredzens, L Avens… - Endangered Species …, 2018 - int-res.com
Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature
life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large …

Plastic pollution and small juvenile marine turtles: a potential evolutionary trap

EM Duncan, AC Broderick, K Critchell… - Frontiers in Marine …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
The ingestion of plastic by marine turtles is now reported for all species. Small juvenile
turtles (including post-hatchling and oceanic juveniles) are thought to be most at risk, due to …

A systematic review of acoustic telemetry as a tool to gain insights into marine turtle ecology and aid their conservation

EE Hardin, MMPB Fuentes - Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 - frontiersin.org
While widely applied in fisheries science, acoustic telemetry remains an underutilized
method in the field of marine turtle biotelemetry. However, with the ability to provide fine …

Phylogeography, genetic stocks, and conservation implications for an Australian endemic marine turtle

NN FitzSimmons, SD Pittard, N McIntyre… - Aquatic …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library

lineages, and the amount of genetic exchange among breeding groups is needed for …

Artificial light disrupts the nearshore dispersal of neonate flatback turtles Natator depressus

P Wilson, M Thums, C Pattiaratchi, M Meekan… - Marine Ecology …, 2018 - int-res.com
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 …

Age-specific growth and maturity estimates for the flatback sea turtle (Natator depressus) by skeletochronology

CN Turner Tomaszewicz, L Avens, JA Seminoff… - Plos one, 2022 - journals.plos.org
To address a major knowledge gap for flatback sea turtles (Natator depressus), a species
endemic to Australia and considered 'Data Deficient'for IUCN Red List assessment, we …

Predicting core areas of flatback turtle hatchlings and potential exposure to threats

P Wilson, C Pattiaratchi, S Whiting, LC Ferreira… - Endangered Species …, 2023 - int-res.com
The lack of data on distribution of juvenile marine species can limit conservation efforts. As
hatchlings, marine turtles are too small to track using satellite telemetry, so their at-sea …

Improving certainty in marine ecosystems: a biophysical modelling approach in the remote, data-limited Gulf of Carpentaria

RG Patterson, E Wolanski, R Groom, K Critchell… - Estuarine, Coastal and …, 2023 - Elsevier
