Differential habitat use and foraging behaviors at various life-stages within a population can
have profound consequences for survivorship, stage duration, and time to maturity. While …

Green turtles Chelonia mydas are endangered, long-lived marine reptiles that display an
ontogenetic shift in diet and habitat use during development. During their early life stage …

The idea that interspecific variation in trophic morphology among closely related species
effectively permits resource partitioning has driven research on ecological radiation since …

Intra-population variation in resource use has been increasingly reported for different taxa.
In particular, foraging specialization of individuals has been quantified for various generalist …

Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) arrive on the geographically isolated Bermuda platform
as small juveniles and remain until they are approaching sexual maturity, at which point …

Species' foraging choices influence their somatic growth rates, age at maturity, and time
spent in vulnerable early life stages. Thus, differences in population demographics are often …

Individual variation in resource use has often been ignored in ecological studies, but closer
examination of individual patterns through time may reveal significant intrapopulation …

The East Pacific green turtle Chelonia mydas population is gradually recovering, yet much
remains unknown about their long-term demographics and habitat use due to their …

Background The leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) has undergone a dramatic
decline over the last 25 years, and this is believed to be primarily the result of mortality …

Most studies on the foraging ecology of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) have focused on
adult females and juveniles. Little is known about the foraging patterns of adult male …
