Key questions in marine megafauna movement ecology
It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities
for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on …

Satellite tracking in sea turtles: How do we find our way to the conservation dividends?
VF Jeffers, BJ Godley - Biological Conservation, 2016 - Elsevier
As species of conservation concern, sea turtles have historically been difficult to study
because of their elusive nature and extensive ranges, but improvements in telemetry have …

Ocean-wide tracking of pelagic sharks reveals extent of overlap with longline fishing hotspots
N Queiroz, NE Humphries… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
Overfishing is arguably the greatest ecological threat facing the oceans, yet catches of many
highly migratory fishes including oceanic sharks remain largely unregulated with poor …

[HTML][HTML] Seismic surveys and marine turtles: An underestimated global threat?
Seismic surveys are widely used in marine geophysical oil and gas exploration, employing
airguns to produce sound-waves capable of penetrating the sea floor. In recent years …

[HTML][HTML] Migratory corridors of adult female Kemp's ridley turtles in the Gulf of Mexico
For many marine species, locations of migratory pathways are not well defined. We used
satellite telemetry and switching state-space modeling (SSM) to define the migratory corridor …

The influence of oceanographic features on the foraging behavior of the olive ridley sea turtle Lepidochelys olivacea along the Guiana coast
The circulation in the Western Equatorial Atlantic is characterized by a highly dynamic
mesoscale activity that shapes the Guiana continental shelf. Olive ridley sea turtles …

Modelling cetacean distribution and mapping overlap with fisheries in the northeast Atlantic
Improving our knowledge of cetacean distribution and habitat use are key if we are to
effectively ensure good conservation status for these species. Often however, sufficient data …

Towards an EU action plan on cetacean bycatch
S Dolman, S Baulch, PGH Evans, F Read, F Ritter - Marine Policy, 2016 - Elsevier
For decades, cetacean bycatch has been a major conservation and welfare concern in
Europe, with high numbers of harbour porpoises, dolphins and whales continuing to die …

Nesting population origins of leatherback turtles caught as bycatch in the US pelagic longline fishery
KR Stewart, EL LaCasella, SE Roden, MP Jensen… - …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Fisheries that operate at large spatial scales and with high intensity have the potential to
impact highly migratory species, and it is important to characterize threats to specific …

Sex‐related variation in the vulnerability of wandering albatrosses to pelagic longline fleets
The population of wandering albatrosses D iomedea exulans at S outh G eorgia is
decreasing because of bycatch in longline fisheries. Until at least the early 1990s, the …
