Diel and seasonal patterns in activity and home range size of green turtles on their foraging grounds revealed by extended Fastloc-GPS tracking

F Christiansen, N Esteban, JA Mortimer, AM Dujon… - Marine biology, 2017 - Springer
An animal's home range is driven by a range of factors including top-down (predation risk)
and bottom-up (habitat quality) processes, which often vary in both space and time. We …
