For decades, fisheries have been managed to limit the accidental capture of vulnerable
species and many of these populations are now rebounding. While encouraging from a …

Understanding the drivers of fisheries bycatch is essential for limiting its impacts on
vulnerable species. Here we present a model to estimate the relative magnitude of sea turtle …

Restricted range, and subsequently small population size, render Kemp's ridley sea turtles
(Lepidochelys kempii) the most globally endangered sea turtle species. For at least two …

Multi-species assemblages can help identify key resources in their habitat by evaluating
how they are partitioning their resources. Here we used the isotopic niche of loggerhead …

Marine turtles are globally endangered species that spend more than 95% of their life cycle
in in-water habitats. Nevertheless, most of the conservation, recovery and research efforts …

Environmental contaminants with chemical origins, such as organochlorine pesticides
(OCPs) have major impacts on the health of marine animals, including sea turtles, due to the …

The globally significant green turtle (Chelonia mydas) population in the northern Great
Barrier Reef is threatened by anthropogenic pressures, including climate change, habitat …

For species of conservation concern, somatic growth and age at maturation are key
parameters in models used to evaluate population dynamics, as spatial and temporal …

Environmental variability can be an important factor in the population dynamics of many
species. In marine systems, for instance, whether environmental conditions facilitate or …

Abstract The Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) is the world's most endangered sea turtle
species and is primarily distributed in the Gulf of Mexico. In the United States, South Padre …
