• Microanatomy of the radius and lifestyle in amniotes (Vertebrata, Tetrapoda) (2005, background): “Chelonia mydas can dive as deep as 50 m (Hays et al. 2002) and all other sampled aquatic taxa can dive even deeper.”
• Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “This explains why this is the major habitat for green turtles in the eastern Mediterranean and why they usually forage at depths less than 5 m (Godley et al. 2002b, Hays et al. 2002, Broderick et al. 2007, Stokes et al. 2015).”
• Migration of green turtles Chelonia mydas from Tortuguero, Costa Rica (2005, background): “In addition, coastal migrations may increase the probability of capture by fishermen (Hays et al. 2002a; Mortimer 1981; Pritchard 1973).”
• Satellite tracking highlights the need for international cooperation in marine turtle management (2006, background): “…turtles generally remained in shallow areas near nesting beaches before beginning migrations (green turtles: Liew & Chan 1992, Meylan 1995, Hays et al. 2002a; loggerhead turtles: Hays et al. 1991, Godley et al. 2003), though it should be noted that rookeries in the Cayman Islands are in…”
• Diving at the shallow end: Green turtle behaviour in near-shore foraging habitat (2009, background): “It would be inappropriate to assume similar behaviour in disparate environments, given that green turtle diving behaviour has been shown to vary notably between different breeding sites (Hays et al., 2002).”
