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 …

Although some sea turtle populations are showing encouraging signs of recovery, others
continue to decline. Reversing population declines requires an understanding of the primary …

Effective transboundary conservation of highly migratory marine animals requires
international management cooperation as well as clear scientific information about habitat …

Summary 1 Pacific leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea populations have been
declining precipitously. It has been suggested that fishery‐associated mortality is the leading …

In sea turtles, parental investment is limited to the nutrients and energy invested in eggs that
will support embryonic development. Leatherback females have the largest clutches with the …

Egg-burying reptiles need relatively stable temperature and humidity in the substrate
surrounding their eggs for successful development and hatchling emergence. Here we show …

The leatherbacks nesting at Bird's Head Peninsula, Papua Barat, Indonesia, account for
75% of the total leatherback nesting in the western Pacific and represent the last sizeable …

We report an arrangement on the effect of anthropogenic litter on marine and estuarine
reptiles, checking for evidence about different types of impact (ingestion vs. entanglement) …

Capture of sea turtles in longline fisheries has been implicated in population declines of
loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles. Since 2004 …

Reductions in global fishing pressure are needed to end overfishing of target species and
maximize the value of fisheries. We ask whether such reductions would also be sufficient to …
