The history of global longline fishing illustrates the role of new technologies (eg vessel
innovations, freezers, fishing gear), the expansion of fishing grounds, and the operational …

The rapid expansion of human activities threatens ocean-wide biodiversity. Numerous
marine animal populations have declined, yet it remains unclear whether these trends are …

Migratory marine species (MMS) include many of the world's most charismatic organisms
such as marine mammals, seabirds, turtles, sharks, and tuna. Many are now among the most …

Animals living in tropical regions may be at increased risk from climate change because
current temperatures at these locations already approach critical physiological thresholds …

Previous genetic studies have demonstrated that natal homing shapes the stock structure of
marine turtle nesting populations. However, widespread sharing of common haplotypes …

The establishment of protected corridors linking the breeding and foraging grounds of many
migratory species remains deficient, particularly in the world's oceans. For example …

Large oceanic migrants play important roles in ecosystems, yet many species are of
conservation concern as a result of anthropogenic threats, of which incidental capture by …

Loggerhead turtles nesting in the Mediterranean Sea exhibit remarkable genetic structuring.
This paper tests the hypothesis that young loggerhead turtles from different rookeries do not …

Identification of populations and management units is an essential step in the study of
natural systems. Still, there is limited consensus regarding how to define populations and …

Climate, behavior, ecology, and oceanography shape patterns of biodiversity in marine
faunas in the absence of obvious geographic barriers. Marine turtles are an example of …
