The available information regarding the 2 sea turtle species breeding in the Mediterranean
(loggerhead turtle Caretta caretta and green turtle Chelonia mydas) is reviewed, including …

Understanding the at-sea spatial behaviour of sea turtles is a priority for their conservation.
In the present paper, the current information on the distribution and movement patterns of …

Marine turtles utilise terrestrial and marine habitats and several aspects of their life history
are tied to environmental features that are altering due to rapid climate change. We overview …

Delineating priority areas for highly mobile marine megafauna represents a major challenge
for conservation biology. To manage such areas, one must understand both their spatial …

It is widely accepted that the age at sexual maturity of sea turtles is a critical parameter for
studying population dynamics and persistence. Estimates of the age at maturity for such long …

Age at maturation data are integral to understanding dynamics of threatened and
endangered sea turtle populations. However, full characterization of this parameter requires …

Sea turtles have been proposed as health indicators of marine habitats and carriers of
antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, for their longevity and migratory lifestyle. Up to now, a …

Mediterranean populations of loggerhead Caretta caretta and green sea turtles Chelonia
mydas are subject to several anthropogenic threats, with documented mortality from …

Since the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles was published in 1997, the field has
grown and matured in ways few of the authors would have predicted—particularly in the …

An ecosystem modelling approach was used to understand and assess the Mediterranean
marine ecosystem structure and function as a whole. In particular, 2 food web models for the …
