Coastal and marine management require the evaluation of multiple environmental threats
and issues. However, there are gaps in the necessary data and poor access or …

An individual's foraging ecology can affect its growth and survival. Stable isotope analysis
has been commonly used to investigate the foraging ecology of marine turtles. However …

Effective management of protected sea turtle populations requires knowledge not only of
mean values for demographic and life-history parameters, but also temporal and spatial …

Remote sensing has become an important tool for the management of the marine
environment. Currently, researchers are able to map several important facets of the marine …

Reptile growth is influenced by many ecological processes that can cumulatively give rise to
divergent somatic growth rates within spatially structured populations. As somatic growth …

The first step in understanding how sympatric species share habitat is defining spatial
boundaries. While home range data for juvenile sea turtles exists, few studies have …

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

Stranded sea turtles provide valuable information about causes of mortality that threatens
these imperiled species. Many potential factors determine whether drifting sea turtles are …

Abstract The Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) is a critically endangered sea turtle that
breeds nearly exclusively in the Gulf of Mexico, with scattered nesting along the US Atlantic …

Satellite telemetry is a valuable tool for examining long-term, large scale movements of
highly migratory species. Tracking data can be used by resource managers to protect habitat …
