Young loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from eastern Florida, USA, undertake a
transoceanic migration in which they gradually circle the North Atlantic Ocean before …

Adult sea turtles of several species migrate across vast expanses of ocean to arrive at
specific nesting areas and feeding sites. Two hypotheses have been proposed to account …

Young loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) from the east coast of Florida, USA,
undertake a transoceanic migration around the North Atlantic Gyre, the circular current …

The Earth's magnetic field provides a pervasive source of directional information used by
phylogenetically diverse marine animals. Behavioral experiments with sea turtles, spiny …

Juvenile and adult sea turtles often navigate to specific feeding areas during long-distance
migrations, and adults periodically return to particular geographic areas for mating and …

Long-distance animal migrants often navigate in ways that imply an awareness of both
latitude and longitude [1–3]. Although several species are known to use magnetic cues as a …

Hatchling sea turtles emerge from underground nests, scramble to the ocean, and migrate to
the open sea. Loggerhead Caretta caretta hatchlings from eastern Florida, USA, appear to …

During their natal migration, hatchling loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta L.) establish
courses towards the open ocean and maintain them after swimming beyond sight of land …

Young sea turtles use the Earth's magnetic field as a source of navigational information
during their epic transoceanic migrations and while homing. A new study using satellite …

Numerous marine animals can sense the Earth's magnetic field and use it as a cue in
orientation and navigation. Two distinct types of information can potentially be extracted from …
