Understanding the at-sea spatial behaviour of sea turtles is a priority for their conservation.
In the present paper, the current information on the distribution and movement patterns of …

Sea turtle by‐catch data in the Mediterranean were reviewed and analysed with fishing
effort. The results indicate over 132 000 captures per year, with probably over 44 000 …

Some animals migrate huge distances in search of resources with locomotory mode
(flying/swimming/walking) thought to drive the upper ceilings on migration distance. Yet in …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles (Lutz and Musick, 1997), studies using
molecular techniques to address a variety of questions about sea turtle biology and life …

It is widely accepted that the age at sexual maturity of sea turtles is a critical parameter for
studying population dynamics and persistence. Estimates of the age at maturity for such long …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles was published in 1997, the field has
grown and matured in ways few of the authors would have predicted—particularly in the …

A key issue in conservation biology is recognizing and bridging the gap between scientific
results and specific action. We examine sea turtles—charismatic yet endangered flagship …

Juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from Atlantic nesting populations migrate
into the western Mediterranean, where they share feeding grounds with turtles originating in …

Loggerhead turtles nesting in the Mediterranean Sea exhibit remarkable genetic structuring.
This paper tests the hypothesis that young loggerhead turtles from different rookeries do not …

Growth rates of the juvenile phase of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) were estimated for
the first time in the Mediterranean Sea from capture-mark-recapture records. Thirty-eight …
