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 …

Patterns of animal movement associated with foraging lie at the heart of many ecological
studies and often animals face decisions of staying in an environment they know versus …

Quantifying the capacity of protected area networks to shield multiple marine megafauna
with diverse life histories is complicated, as many species are wide-ranging, requiring varied …

Aim Conservation plans often struggle to account for connectivity in spatial prioritization
approaches for the protection of migratory species. Protection of such species is challenging …

Annual and seasonal encounter rates, life stages and the main threats to loggerhead sea
turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Aeolian Archipelago (southern Italy) were studied. Dedicated …

Assessing sea turtle movements and connectivity among different areas is pivotal to
understanding their biology and implementing efficient conservation actions. In the Adriatic …

Although Caretta caretta is the most common turtle in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, its
distribution is relatively difficult to assess due to the lack of data in offshore waters. The …

Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) are known to display a wide range of movement
patterns during the different stages of their life cycle, but empirical information to document …

Based on the critical review of the literature published in the last 22 years, an attempt was
made to evaluate the current knowledge gap on the distribution and status of the native …
