Understanding spatial heterogeneity in reproductive success among at-risk populations
facing localised threats is key for conservation. Sea turtle populations often concentrate at …

The beach Praia Grande, on Príncipe Island (Gulf of Guinea, West Africa), hosts a green
turtle rookery. A total of 219 clutches with an average size of 111 eggs were laid by the 88 …

Among sea turtles, nest site selection is a crucial factor for hatching success and population
viability. The relocation of otherwise doomed clutches to safe hatcheries has been widely …

Populations of the Critically Endangered hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata in the
Seychelles showed significant declines in the past. They have since recovered and nesting …

Nest site selection is a critical behaviour, particularly in species with no parental care, as it
can greatly impact offspring survival. Marine turtles depend on sandy beaches to nest …

The scarcity on the Atlantic coast of the African sea turtle population and its dynamics data is
well known. This article discusses the nesting ecology methods and analysis of a nascent …

For species without parental care, such as sea turtles, nest site selection is particularly
important for embryo development, hatchling survival and, ultimately, reproductive success …

Assessing abundance and monitoring ecology and population trends are of critical
importance for animal species of conservation concern. For sea turtles, annual nest counts …

One of the largest nesting colonies of the Vulnerable loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta is
in Cabo Verde. Here we present the first comprehensive study of loggerhead turtle nesting …

The recovery of depleted sea turtle populations will require careful documentation of sea
turtle reproduction sites and anthropogenic mortality risks throughout their known ranges …
