First satellite tracks of South Atlantic sea turtle 'lost years': seasonal variation in trans-equatorial movement

KL Mansfield, ML Mendilaharsu… - … of the Royal …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In the South Atlantic Ocean, few data exist regarding the dispersal of young oceanic sea
turtles. We characterized the movements of laboratory-reared yearling loggerhead turtles …

Satellite tracking derived insights into migration and foraging strategies of male loggerhead turtles in the eastern Atlantic

First satellite tracks of neonate sea turtles redefine the 'lost years' oceanic niche

KL Mansfield, J Wyneken… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Few at-sea behavioural data exist for oceanic-stage neonate sea turtles, a life-stage

Active dispersal in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) during the 'lost years'

DK Briscoe, DM Parker, GH Balazs… - … of the Royal …, 2016 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Highly migratory marine species can travel long distances and across entire ocean basins to
reach foraging and breeding grounds, yet gaps persist in our knowledge of oceanic …

A review of long‐distance movements by marine turtles, and the possible role of ocean currents

P Luschi, GC Hays, F Papi - Oikos, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Sea turtle movements often occur in open‐sea unsheltered areas, and are therefore likely to
be influenced by major oceanographic processes. Only recently has work started to examine …

Fidelity and over-wintering of sea turtles

AC Broderick, MS Coyne, WJ Fuller… - … of the Royal …, 2007 - royalsocietypublishing.org
While fidelity to breeding sites is well demonstrated in marine turtles, emerging knowledge
of migratory routes and key foraging sites is of limited conservation value unless levels of …

First Atlantic satellite tracks of 'lost years' green turtles support the importance of the Sargasso Sea as a sea turtle nursery

KL Mansfield, J Wyneken, J Luo - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In-water behaviour and long-term movements of oceanic-stage juvenile sea turtles are not
well described or quantified. This is owing to technological or logistical limitations of tracking …

Satellite tracking reveals a dichotomy in migration strategies among juvenile loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Atlantic

KL Mansfield, VS Saba, JA Keinath, JA Musick - Marine Biology, 2009 - Springer
Few data are available on the movements and behavior of immature Atlantic loggerhead
sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from their seasonal neritic foraging grounds within the western …

Natal site and offshore swimming influence fitness and long-distance ocean transport in young sea turtles

NF Putman, R Scott, P Verley, R Marsh, GC Hays - Marine Biology, 2012 - Springer
Although long-distance transport of marine organisms is constrained by numerous oceanic
and biological factors, some species have evolved life-histories reliant on such movements …
