Plastic debris is now ubiquitous in the marine environment affecting a wide range of taxa,
from microscopic zooplankton to large vertebrates. Its persistence and dispersal throughout …

Climate change is a threat to marine turtles that is expected to affect all of their life stages. To
guide future research, we conducted a review of the most recent literature on this topic …

Although complexity surrounds us, its inherent uncertainty, ambiguity, and contradiction can
at first make complex systems appear inscrutable. Ecosystems, for instance, are nonlinear …

In coastal waters around the world, the dominant primary producers are benthic
macrophytes, including seagrasses and macroalgae, that provide habitat structure and food …

In recent years pelagic Sargassum has invaded the coastlines of the Caribbean region, Gulf
of Mexico, Florida and West Africa, triggering human health concerns and negatively …

In-water behaviour and long-term movements of oceanic-stage juvenile sea turtles are not
well described or quantified. This is owing to technological or logistical limitations of tracking …

Over 25 years ago the first satellite tracking studies of sea turtles were published. The
technology and attachment methods have now come of age with long-term tracks over a …

Although oceanic dispersal in larval and juvenile marine animals is widely studied, the
relative contributions of swimming behavior and ocean currents to movements and …

The oceanographic ecology of pelagic Sargassum, and the means by which these floating
macroalgae thrive in the nutrient-poor waters of the open ocean, have been studied for …

Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature
life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large …
