The Sultanate of Oman hosts the largest Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta) rookery in the
Indian Ocean and was historically estimated as a third of the global stocks of the species …

Sea turtle populations underwent severe decline in historical times, mainly through
harvesting eggs and adults on nesting beaches. With the reduction of this threat in many …

Despite great advances in the understanding of marine turtle biology over the past 60 yrs,
there is still a paucity of demographic data on the juvenile stage of their life history. These …

Sea turtles have various life-stages, typically being oceanic foragers as juveniles while
shifting to more coastal habitats as they mature. The present study focuses on the least …

Leatherback turtles are exposed to many anthropogenic hazards in the Pacific, but too little
is known about their demography to reliably estimate abundance and develop hazard …

Foraging grounds are critical to the survival of marine turtles, yet studies of these areas lag
behind those of nesting sites. Our study represents the first data and discussion on marine …

Conservation of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) benefits from knowledge of population
connectivity across life stages. Green turtles are managed at the level of genetically discrete …

The green turtle Chelonia mydas undertakes wide-ranging migrations between feeding and
nesting sites, resulting in mixing and isolation of genetic stocks. We used mtDNA control …

We opportunistically assessed the relative abundance of leatherback sea turtles
Dermochelys coriacea over 14 yr in a foraging area off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada …

Many sea turtle studies globally use counts of nesting activities as a proxy for population
abundance estimates and as an indicator of trends within the population. Often these …
