After centuries of decline, green turtle (Chelonia mydas) populations are showing handsome
localized recoveries due to dedicated conservation efforts. This calls into question how …

Successful conservation of long‐lived species requires reliable understanding of long‐term
trends and historical baselines. We present a framework for evaluating abundance trends …

Sea turtles are keystone species in marine environments due to their essential role as
seagrass grazers and population regulation of jellyfish and sponges in coral reefs. However …

Marine protected area (MPA) designs, including large-scale MPAs (LSMPAs;> 150,000 km
2), mobile MPAs (fluid spatiotemporal boundaries), and MPA networks, may offer different …

Adult sea turtles migrate between foraging areas and nesting sites that may be 100 s–1000
s of km away. Little is known of the connectivity between these sites in the Arabian region for …

Quantifying demographic parameters and variable vital rates, such as somatic growth rates,
time to maturity, and reproductive longevity, is important for effective management of …

Adult sea turtles undertake periodic long-distance migrations between foraging and nesting
areas during breeding migrations, and an understanding the connectivity between these two …

Patterns of genetic structure in highly mobile marine vertebrates may be accompanied by
phenotypic variation. Most studies in marine turtles focused on population genetic structure …

Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) are exploited for their beautiful shell known as
tortoiseshell or bekko, making them extremely vulnerable in the illegal global trade of …

The green turtle, Chelonia mydas, is a migratory marine species with a circumglobal
distribution in tropical and temperate waters. Its natal homing behavior leads to a complex …
