Summary 1 The management of threatened species is an important practical way in which
conservationists can intervene in the extinction process and reduce the loss of biodiversity …

We examine why demographic models should be used cautiously in Population Viability
Analysis (PVA) with endangered species. We review the structure, data requirements, and …

Sensitivity analyses that assess the impact of changing vital rates on population growth have
been widely used to guide conservation. If implemented with caution, they can provide …

Global warming is affecting habitat quality and availability on our planet and some species
are predicted or are by now changing their distribution range. Here we show that …

A stochastic simulation model was developed for the southern Great Barrier Reef (sGBR)
green sea turtle stock to foster better insight into local population dynamics and to assess …

We evaluate the role of intensive beach management, meaning intense patrolling and nest
reburial to a central hatchery, as a strategy for improving the success of sea turtle …

Nest protection through egg relocation from natural nests into protected hatcheries is a
common practice used at rookeries around the world to increase hatchling recruitment into …

Many populations of marine megafauna, including seabirds, sea turtles, marine mammals,
and elasmobranchs, have declined in recent decades due largely to anthropogenic …

Sensitivity analysis can be defined as the set of analytical and simulationbased tools that
evaluates how changes in life-history attributes of a demographic model affect population …

Marine turtle species have a complex life history characterized by interannual variability in
reproductive performance and a long life span. These ecological features in combination …
