Although some sea turtle populations are showing encouraging signs of recovery, others
continue to decline. Reversing population declines requires an understanding of the primary …

The Green Turtle Status Review Team (SRT) has undertaken a review consistent with
section 4 (a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), using the best available scientific …

Although growth rate and age data are essential for leatherback management, estimates of
these demographic parameters remain speculative due to the cryptic life history of this …

Artificial lighting disrupts sea turtle hatchling orientation from the nest to the sea. We studied
how a light-induced landward crawl affects the later ability of hatchlings to crawl to the sea …

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 …

The dash of freshly emerged hatchlings to the sea is a short but critical phase in the life cycle
of sea turtles. We examine the time spent on a Mediterranean beach from the perspective of …

To assess threats to endangered species, it is critical to establish baselines for contaminant
concentrations that may have detrimental consequences to individuals or populations. We …

The high probability of being depredated on the crawl to the water may have influenced the
evolutionary processes of hatchling sea turtles on the beach. During this time hatchlings …

Understanding predator-prey interactions at the vulnerable egg and hatchling stage of sea
turtles is crucial to effectively manage these threatened marine species. Our research …

Significant gaps exist in our understanding of early sea turtle life stages. Dispersal and
habitat use of young oceanic sea turtles are largely inferred. Historically, available tracking …
