Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “Genetic markers have revealed a differential distribution at foraging grounds of larger juvenile loggerhead turtles (23 to 69 cm CCL) originating from different populations (Carreras et al. 2006, 2011, 236 migrations from and to the breeding sites ( ).”
Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, background): “It has been suggested that the Atlantic individuals entering from the Strait of Gibraltar (see below) frequent the southern part of the western basin, while Mediterranean loggerheads frequent the northern part (Carreras et al. 2006).”
Regional Management Units for Marine Turtles: A Novel Framework for Prioritizing Conservation and Research across Multiple Scales (2010, background): “Furthermore, recent studies have described spatial distributions of genetic stocks in foraging and developmental areas at-sea based on local and regional ocean current patterns in the Wider Caribbean [28,37], Atlantic Ocean [40], Mediterranean Sea [45], and Pacific Ocean [46,47].”
Impacts of fisheries bycatch on loggerhead turtles worldwide inferred from reproductive value analyses (2008, background): “To provide a framework for comparing the relative impacts of different fisheries on populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta , we compiled published data on sizes of individual loggerheads taken as bycatch in North Atlantic, North Pacific and Mediterranean fisheries, and used Leslie mat”
The genetic structure of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean as revealed by nuclear and mitochondrial DNA and its conservation implications (2007, methodology): “9 (Hall 1999) and compared with haplotypes previously described (Bolten et al. 1998; Encalada et al. 1998; Carreras et al. 2006) and found in the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research database (http://accstr.”
Population structure and conservation implications for the loggerhead sea turtle of the Cape Verde Islands (2010, methodology): “Both pelagic and neritic feeding grounds are usually ‘‘mixed stocks’’ drawn from various different rookeries (Bolten et al. 1998; Laurent et al. 1998; Bowen et al. 2004; Bass et al. 2004; Carreras et al. 2006).”
Sea turtle by‐catch in the Mediterranean (2011, background): “High proportions of loggerhead turtles of Atlantic origin are estimated to frequent the Spanish waters and the central Mediterranean (Carreras et al. 2006), and these turtles are probably small, on the basis of the small size recorded in the Atlantic coast of Europe (Hays and Marsh 1997).”
A model of area fidelity, nomadism, and distribution patterns of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, background): “Another area which appears to be an important oceanic habitat, on the basis of the high interaction with drifting longline, is the westernmost part of the Mediterranean (Caminas et al. 2006), frequented by Atlantic and Mediterranean turtles ( Carreras et al. 2006b ).”
Oceanic dispersal of juvenile leatherback turtles: going beyond passive drift modeling (2012, background): “This clearly indicates that, even in the presence of significant random swimming activity, juveniles’ dispersal remains largely shaped by oceanic currents, as commonly observed in various juvenile dispersal studies (e.g. Carreras et al. 2006, Blumenthal et al. 2009).”
Bycatch of loggerhead sea turtles: insights from 14 years of stranding data (2008, background): “Fisheries and other disturbances in the study region affect turtles from different population stocks: the Atlantic and the Mediterranean (Laurent et al. 1998, Carreras et al. 2006 and references therein).”
