Sequential overgrazing by green turtles causes archipelago-wide functional extinctions of seagrass meadows
After centuries of decline, green turtle (Chelonia mydas) populations are showing handsome
localized recoveries due to dedicated conservation efforts. This calls into question how …

[HTML][HTML] Variation in species composition, size and fitness of two multi-species sea turtle assemblages using different neritic habitats
The neritic environment is rich in resources and as such plays a crucial role as foraging
habitat for multi-species marine assemblages, including sea turtles. However, this habitat …
