Leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea spend most of their life in oceanic environments,
whose physical and biological characteristics are primarily forged by sea current circulation …

During their offshore movements, leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, associate
frequently with ocean currents and mesoscale oceanographic features such as eddies, and …

The open-sea movements of marine animals are affected by the drifting action of currents
that, if not compensated for, can produce non-negligible deviations from the correct route …

The routes of five satellite-tracked loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), subjected to an
experimental translocation away from their usual migratory routes, have been analysed in …

Leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) travel thousands of kilometres between
temperate feeding and tropical breeding/over-wintering grounds, with adult turtles able to …

Sea turtle movements often occur in open‐sea unsheltered areas, and are therefore likely to
be influenced by major oceanographic processes. Only recently has work started to examine …

Between 1996 and 2003 we tracked by satellite the post-nesting movements of 9
leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) breeding in KwaZulu-Natal (north-eastern coast …

In the South Atlantic Ocean, few data exist regarding the dispersal of young oceanic sea
turtles. We characterized the movements of laboratory-reared yearling loggerhead turtles …
