BIOLOGICAL DATA ON THE GREEN TURTLE CHELONIA MYDAS (LINNAEUS 1758) Fish and …

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 …

The lives of sea turtles consist of a continuous series of migrations. As hatchlings, the turtles
swim from their natal beaches into the open sea,^"* often taking refuge in circular current …

The success of the first volume of The Biology of Sea Turtles revealed a need for broad but
comprehensive reviews of major recent advances in sea turtle biology. Biology of Sea …

Adult sea turtles are among the largest living reptiles and the only reptiles that exhibit long-
distance migrations that rival those of terrestrial and avian vertebrates. Many details of these …

Aim Resources can shape patterns of habitat utilization. Recently a broad foraging
dichotomy between oceanic and coastal sites has been revealed for loggerhead sea turtles …

Over the last two decades, satellite tracking with the Argos system has become a widely
used tool, enabling the movements of a large variety of terrestrial, aquatic and aerial …

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 …

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 …

Aim Although satellite tracking has yielded much information regarding the migrations and
habitat use of threatened marine species, relatively little has been published about the …
