VF Jeffers, BJ Godley - Biological Conservation, 2016 - Elsevier
As species of conservation concern, sea turtles have historically been difficult to study
because of their elusive nature and extensive ranges, but improvements in telemetry have …

Biodiversity Research: fidelity to foraging sites, consistency of migration routes and habitat modulation of home range by sea turtles

G Schofield, VJ Hobson, S Fossette… - Diversity and …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Migratory dichotomy and associated phenotypic variation in marine turtles revealed by satellite tracking and stable isotope analysis

JA Zbinden, S Bearhop, P Bradshaw, B Gill… - Marine Ecology …, 2011 - int-res.com
Linking foraging and breeding habitats is key to the understanding of behaviour, ecology

Timing is crucial for consequences of migratory connectivity

S Bauer, S Lisovski, S Hahn - Oikos, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Migratory connectivity can have important consequences for individuals, populations and
communities. We argue that most consequences not only depend on which sites are used …

Climate change resilience of a globally important sea turtle nesting population

AR Patrício, MR Varela, C Barbosa… - Global Change …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Few studies have looked into climate change resilience of populations of wild animals. We
use a model higher vertebrate, the green sea turtle, as its life history is fundamentally …
