Advances in the application of genetics in marine turtle biology and conservation
Marine turtles migrate across long distances, exhibit complex life histories, and occupy
habitats that are difficult to observe. These factors present substantial challenges 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 …

Identifying the source populations supplying a vital economic marine species for the New Zealand aquaculture industry
Abstract Aquaculture of New Zealand's endemic green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) is
an industry valued at NZ $336 M per annum and is~ 80% reliant on the natural supply of …

Predicted distributions and abundances of the sea turtle 'lost years' in the western North Atlantic Ocean
Oceanic dispersal characterizes the early juvenile life‐stages of numerous marine species
of conservation concern. This early stage may be a 'critical period'for many species, playing …

Green turtle mitochondrial microsatellites indicate finer-scale natal homing to isolated islands than to continental nesting sites
In highly mobile philopatric species, defining the scale of natal homing is fundamental to
characterizing population dynamics and effectively managing distinct populations. Genetic …

Mexican origins for the Texas green turtle foraging aggregation: a cautionary tale of incomplete baselines and poor marker resolution
The green turtle (Chelonia mydas) foraging aggregation along the Texas coast has
increased dramatically in recent years, but the source populations for these turtles have not …

Effects of swimming behaviour and oceanography on sea turtle hatchling dispersal at the intersection of two ocean current systems
DZM Le Gouvello, MG Hart-Davis, BC Backeberg… - Ecological …, 2020 - Elsevier
The knowledge gap on the early life-history of sea turtles during the “lost years” continues to
hinder research and conservation of this critical life stage when mortality rates are the …

Atlantic connectivity of a major green sea turtle Chelonia mydas foraging aggregation at the Banc d'Arguin, Mauritania
Understanding population connectivity is paramount for effective conservation. While
genetic tools have elucidated sea turtle migration patterns, notable data gaps limit our …

Incorporating distance metrics and temporal trends to refine mixed stock analysis
The distribution of marine organisms is shaped by geographic distance and oceanographic
features like currents. Among migratory species, individuals from multiple populations may …
