Understanding sea turtle diets can help conservation planning, but their trophic ecology is
complex due to life history characteristics such as ontogenetic shifts and large foraging …

The idea that interspecific variation in trophic morphology among closely related species
effectively permits resource partitioning has driven research on ecological radiation since …

Green turtles Chelonia mydas are endangered, long-lived marine reptiles that display an
ontogenetic shift in diet and habitat use during development. During their early life stage …

The use of stable isotopes to investigate animal diets, habitat use, and trophic level requires
understanding the rate at which animals incorporate the 13 C and 15 N from their diets and …

Satellite telemetry and stable isotope analysis were used to confirm that oceanic areas
(where water depths are> 200 m) are alternative feeding habitats for adult female green sea …

Differential habitat use and foraging behaviors at various life-stages within a population can
have profound consequences for survivorship, stage duration, and time to maturity. While …

While many migratory marine organisms converge at breeding areas, identifying foraging
strategies away from these reproductive sites can be challenging. Adult female green turtles …

Young green turtles (Chelonia mydas) spend their early lives as oceanic omnivores with a
prevalence of animal prey. Once they settle into neritic habitats (recruitment), they are …

The green turtle, Chelonia mydas, is a circumglobal species that is susceptible to
overexploitation as a food resource, incidental mortality in fisheries, and coastal foraging …

Diet–tissue discrimination factors (Δ15N or Δ13C) and turnover times are thought to be
influenced by a wide range of variables including metabolic rate, age, dietary quality, tissue …
