Exposure of marine turtle nesting grounds to named storms along the continental USA
(Remote Sensing, 2019-12-01)© 2019 by the authors. Named storms can cause substantial impacts on the habitat and reproductive output of threatened species, such as marine turtles. To determine the impacts of named storms on marine turtles and inform ... -
Global research priorities for sea turtles: informing management and conservation in the 21st century
(Endangered Species Research, 2010-05-26)Over the past 3 decades, the status of sea turtles and the need for their protection to aid population recovery have increasingly captured the interest of government agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the ... -
Hawksbill sea turtle life-stage durations, somatic growth patterns, and age at maturation
(Endangered Species Research, 2021-01-01)Sea turtles exhibit complex life histories, encompassing intermittent use of multiple spatially separated habitats throughout long lifespans. This broad scope presents challenges for collecting comprehensive biological and ... -
Incidental capture and mortality of sea turtles in the industrial double-rig-bottom trawl fishery in south-eastern Brazil
(Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2019-01-01)© 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Incidental capture by fisheries is one of the principal threats to sea turtles. This study analysed spatial and temporal patterns of sea turtle bycatch, and estimated the direct initial mortality ... -
Informing research priorities for immature sea turtles through expert elicitation
(Endangered Species Research, 2018-01-01)© The authors 2018. Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large proportion ... -
Maturity of a giant: age and size reaction norm for sexual maturity for Atlantic leatherback turtles
(Marine Ecology, 2021-01-01)Leatherback marine turtles are the largest extant turtles with some individuals measuring up to 2 m in carapace length. In addition, this species remains in oceanic habitat during much its life, making it difficult to investigate ... -
Network analysis of sea turtle movements and connectivity: A tool for conservation prioritization
(Diversity and Distributions, 2022-04-01)Aim: Understanding the spatial ecology of animal movements is a critical element in conserving long-lived, highly mobile marine species. Analyzing networks developed from movements of six sea turtle species reveals marine ... -
NMR metabolomic analysis of skeletal muscle, heart, and liver of hatchling loggerhead sea turtles (caretta caretta) experimentally exposed to crude oil and/or corexit
