Migratory marine species present challenges for conservation because of complex threats
within their pelagic dispersal zones, including coastal foraging areas and extensive …

Ecological and genetic studies of marine turtles generally support the hypothesis of natal
homing, but leave open the question of the geographical scale of genetic exchange and the …

Investigating species' distribution and abundance over time is central to evolutionary
biology, and provides important context for conservation and management. With respect to …

Coastal seagrass habitats in tropical and subtropical regions support aggregations of
resident green turtles (Chelonia mydas) from several genetically distinct breeding …

Identification of the geographic extent of population boundaries, the distribution of genetic
lineages, and the amount of genetic exchange among breeding groups is needed for …

Investigating migratory connectivity between breeding and foraging areas is critical to
effective management and conservation of highly mobile marine taxa, particularly …

The seven species of sea turtles occupy a diversity of niches, and have a history tracing
back over 100 million years, yet all share basic life‐history features, including exceptional …

Migratory marine turtles are extremely difficult to track between their feeding and nesting
areas, and the link between juvenile and adult habitats is generally unknown. To assess the …

Context Migratory species are known to pose a challenge for conservation because it is
essential to understand their complex life history in order to implement efficient conservation …

Aim A key life‐history component for many animals is the need for movement between
different geographical locations at particular times. Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchlings …
