Sea turtle movements often occur in open‐sea unsheltered areas, and are therefore likely to
be influenced by major oceanographic processes. Only recently has work started to examine …

Two conflicting hypotheses compete to explain how a homing pigeon can return to its loft
over great distances. One proposes the use of atmospheric odours and the other the Earth's …

Long‐distance migration has evolved in many organisms moving through different media
and using various modes of locomotion and transport. Migration continues to evolve or …

Electronic tags are significantly improving our understanding of aquatic animal behavior and
are emerging as key sources of information for conservation and management practices …

The success of the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles revealed a need for broad but
comprehensive reviews of major recent advances in sea turtle biology. Biology of Sea …

Adult sea turtles are among the largest living reptiles and the only reptiles that exhibit long-
distance migrations that rival those of terrestrial and avian vertebrates. Many details of these …

Migratory animals show a suite of adaptations to cope with their journeys. These include not
only morphological features for efficient locomotion and storage of energy but also …

Highly pelagic large marine vertebrates have evolved the capability of moving across large
expanses of the marine environment; some species routinely move across entire ocean …

Choices made by foraging animals should maximize energy intake, although 'irrational'short-
term behaviours are common. One explanation for this is that environmental variation may …

Long distance migration occurs in a wide variety of taxa including birds, insects, fishes,
mammals and reptiles. Here, we provide evidence for a new paradigm for the determinants …
