Loggerhead turtles nesting in the Mediterranean Sea exhibit remarkable genetic structuring.
This paper tests the hypothesis that young loggerhead turtles from different rookeries do not …

Identifying highly frequented areas is a priority for sea turtle conservation, and the
distribution of young individuals in open waters represents a major knowledge gap due to …

Knowledge of the distribution and density of marine species is key to understanding habitat
use and interactions with human activities. Yet such information for sea turtles remains …

Climate-induced environmental changes are profoundly impacting marine ecosystems and
altering species distribution worldwide. Migratory organisms, including sea turtles, are …

Understanding the processes that underlie the current distribution of genetic diversity in
endangered species is a goal of modern conservation biology. Specifically, the role of …

Aim It is difficult to mitigate threats to marine vertebrates until their habitat use is understood.
