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 …

We document a tendency for published estimates of population size in sea turtles to be
increasing rather than decreasing across the globe. To examine the population status of the …

Understanding population status and trends is important for developing and evaluating
management and conservation actions for threatened species. Monitoring population status …

We quantified research trends in the field of sea turtle science by collating data from 30
years of abstracts presented annually at the International Sea Turtle Symposium–the largest …

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

Capture of sea turtles in longline fisheries has been implicated in population declines of
loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles. Since 2004 …

Determining patterns of migratory connectivity for highly-mobile, wide-ranging species, such
as sea turtles, is challenging. Here, we combined satellite telemetry and stable isotope …

For species reaching maturity at a range of ages or sizes, factors that influence juvenile
growth and size at maturity may have lasting impacts on overall fitness. Assessing when …

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 …

Many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). Sex determination in
marine turtles is described by a cool–male, warm–female pattern. Nest sand temperature …
