The northwestern Indian Ocean hosts globally crucial marine biodiversity, which is relatively
understudied. There has, however, been significant research and conservation effort …

Although published literature regarding the 5 species of marine turtle found along the
continental African east coast has grown substantially over the last decades, a …

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 …

Estimating population abundance is central to many ecological studies and important in
conservation planning. Yet the elusive nature of many species makes estimating their …

A species may partition its realized ecological niche along bionomic and scenopoetic axes
due to intraspecific competition for limited resources. How partitioning manifests depends on …

Sea turtles are an iconic group of marine megafauna that have been exposed to multiple
anthropogenic threats across their different life stages, especially in the past decades. This …

Dietary studies provide key insights into threats and changes within ecosystems and
subsequent impacts on focal species. Diet is particularly challenging to study within marine …

Deriving robust historical population trends for long-lived species subject to human
exploitation is challenging in scenarios where long-term scientific data are scarce or …

Multi-species conservation strategies can be useful to maximize allocation of resources. To
effectively plan for multi-species management practices, it is important to have a robust …

Sea turtles are globally threatened due to short-and long-term exposure to anthropogenic
activities. Many life-history traits make it difficult to study these species in the wild. Stranding …
