Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review
Understanding the at-sea spatial behaviour of sea turtles is a priority for their conservation.
In the present paper, the current information on the distribution and movement patterns of …

A biologist's guide to assessing ocean currents: a review
We review how ocean currents are measured (in both Eulerian and Lagrangian
frameworks), how they are inferred from satellite observations, and how they are simulated …

Young sea turtles of the pelagic Sargassum-dominated drift community: habitat use, population density, and threats
B Witherington, S Hirama, R Hardy - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2012 - int-res.com
In the western Atlantic young sea turtles in their surface-pelagic juvenile stage, a stage often

First satellite tracks of neonate sea turtles redefine the 'lost years' oceanic niche
Few at-sea behavioural data exist for oceanic-stage neonate sea turtles, a life-stage
commonly referred to as the sea turtle 'lost years'. Historically, the long-term tracking of …

Plastic pollution and small juvenile marine turtles: a potential evolutionary trap
The ingestion of plastic by marine turtles is now reported for all species. Small juvenile
turtles (including post-hatchling and oceanic juveniles) are thought to be most at risk, due to …

Informing research priorities for immature sea turtles through expert elicitation
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 …

Tracking through life stages: adult, immature and juvenile autumn migration in a long-lived seabird
Seasonal long-distance migration is likely to be experienced in a contrasted manner by
juvenile, immature and adult birds, leading to variations in migratory routes, timing and …

Migration phenology and seasonal fidelity of an Arctic marine predator in relation to sea ice dynamics
Understanding how seasonal environmental conditions affect the timing and distribution of
synchronized animal movement patterns is a central issue in animal ecology. Migration, a …
