Since the 1970s, the magnitude of turtle cold-stun strandings have increased dramatically
within the northwestern Atlantic. Here, we examine oceanic, atmospheric, and biological …

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 …

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 …

Estimating population abundance is key for species of conservation concern. This is
particularly challenging for marine animals, like sea turtles, with ocean-scale distribution and …

Oceanic dispersal characterizes the early juvenile life‐stages of numerous marine species
of conservation concern. This early stage may be a 'critical period'for many species, playing …

Understanding how populations are distributed spatially can be an effective tool for
conservation and management planning. This is especially true for threatened species of …

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 …

This study is a quantitative evaluation of historic nesting levels of the Kemp's ridley sea turtle
(Lepidochelys kempii) in 1947 based on (1) the Herrera film of a 1947 arribada,(2) …

Coincident with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, unprecedented numbers of Kemp's
ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) stranded on northern Gulf of Mexico beaches and …

The goal of this paper was to review the evidence of population-level impacts of the
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DWH) on Gulf of Mexico (GOM) continental shelf taxa, as well …
