Vulnerability of marine turtles to climate change
Marine turtles are generally viewed as vulnerable to climate change because of the role that
temperature plays in the sex determination of embryos, their long life history, long age-to …

A review of long‐distance movements by marine turtles, and the possible role of ocean currents
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 …

Fidelity and over-wintering of sea turtles
While fidelity to breeding sites is well demonstrated in marine turtles, emerging knowledge
of migratory routes and key foraging sites is of limited conservation value unless levels of …

The navigational feats of green sea turtles migrating from Ascension Island investigated by satellite telemetry
Previous tagging studies of the movements of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) nesting at
Ascension Island have shown that they shuttle between this remote target in the Atlantic …

Pan-Atlantic leatherback turtle movements
The overall extent of habitat use by leatherback turtles in the North Atlantic, and hence their
possible interactions with longline fisheries, is unknown. Here we use long-term satellite …

Long‐term satellite telemetry of the movements and habitat utilisation by green turtles in the Mediterranean
There is a relative paucity of data regarding the at‐sea distribution and behaviour of marine
turtles. This is especially true for the critically endangered green turtle Chelonia mydas …
