Population stock structure of leatherback turtles (Dermochelyscoriacea) in the Atlantic revealed using mtDNA and microsatellite markers (2013, background): “Recently, a male leatherback was tracked by satellite telemetry from foraging areas in the northwest Atlantic to the same breeding area adjacent to the Trinidad nesting beaches 2 years in a row (James et al. 2005), supporting breeding fidelity of males.”
Sex-specific migration patterns of hawksbill turtles breeding at Mona Island, Puerto Rico (2008, background): “…of male marine turtles include olive Lepidochelys olivacea and Kemp’s ridley L. kempii, green, loggerhead, and leatherback Dermochelys coriacea turtles (Beavers & Cassano 1996, Plotkin et al. 1996, Sakamoto et al. 1997, Balazs & Ellis 2000, Hays et al. 2001, James et al. 2005, Shaver et al. 2005).”
Why do Argos satellite tags deployed on marine animals stop transmitting (2007, background): “…led to more refined tracking studies and a large increase in our knowledge of long-distance movements of reptiles (e.g. Luschi et al., 2001, 2003; James et al., 2005b, 2006), fish (e.g. Sims et al., 2005; Weng et al., 2005), birds (e.g. Nel et al., 2001; Phillips et al., 2006) and mammals (e.g.…”
Behavioural polymorphism in one of the world’s largest populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (2010, background): “This places them in contact with a wide range of spatially explicit threats such as incidental capture in marine fisheries in oceanic (Ferraroli et al. 2004, Lewison et al. 2004, Carranza et al. 2006) and coastal waters (James et al. 2005a, Peckham et al. 2008).”
Important areas at sea for adult loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: satellite tracking corroborates findings from potentially biased sources (2008, background): “Our limited knowledge about the movements of male sea turtles indicates that their spatial behaviour may be similar to that of females (Hays et al. 2001b; Hatase et al. 2002a; James et al. 2005a, b).”
Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, background): “Mar Ecol Prog Ser 322:281–289 Gitschlag GR (1996) Migration and diving beahviour of Kemp’s ridley (Garman) sea turtles along the US southeastern Atlantic coast.”
High-use oceanic areas for Atlantic leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) as identified using satellite telemetered location and dive information (2006, background): “As for males in the North Atlantic Ocean ( James et al. 2005b ), reproductive females make annual north/south migrations.”
Different male vs. female breeding periodicity helps mitigate offspring sex ratio skews in sea turtles (2014, background): “However, male leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) tracked from their foraging grounds in the Atlantic return to breed more frequently than females (James et al., 2005).”
Investigating the viability of photo-identification as an objective tool to study endangered sea turtle populations (2008, background): “However, very few male turtles are identified by tagging because this requires logistically challenging capture at sea (e.g. Hays et al., 2001; James et al., 2005) as males very rarely emerge onto land (but see Rice & Balazs, 2008).”
