Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, background): “…experimental approach yielding significant insights into navigational capabilities of loggerhead (Papi et al. 1997, Luschi et al. 2003b) and green turtles (Papi et al. 1995, 2000, Luschi et al. 1996, 2001, 2007, Papi & Luschi 1996, Åkesson et al. 2001, 2003, Hays et al. 2003a, Girard et al. 2006).”
Goal navigation and island-finding in sea turtles (2008, background): “Analyses of homing routes of displaced turtles in relation to the main currents they encounter have failed to provide evidence that turtles use current-borne cues emanating from targets (Luschi et al. 2001; Girard et al. 2006).”
On the global estimates of geostrophic and Ekman surface currents (2013, background): “[25] The use of satellites for precise localization (telemetry) combined with surface currents can be used to qualify the mechanical action of currents on the displacement of marine animals (Luschi et al. 2001; Girard et al. 2006).”

Why do Argos satellite tags deployed on marine animals stop transmitting (2007, background): “These improvements have 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.,…”

Mechanisms of animal global navigation: comparative perspectives and enduring challenges (2005, background): “Displacement experiments carried out in the field have led one group of researchers to think no (lusChi et al. 2001, 2003c; Åkesson et al. 2003).”
Evidence from genetic and Lagrangian drifter data for transatlantic transport of small juvenile green turtles (2010, background): “As adults, turtles of nearly all species migrate intermittently to and from their FGs to their nesting beaches (Miller, 1997; Bowen & Karl, 2007), using their homing and sensory abilities to navigate to their final destination (Luschi et al., 2001; Hays et al., 2002; Lohmann et al., 2008a,b).”
Long-distance migration: evolution and determinants (2003, background): “…on Ascension Island, suggest that they are relying on geomagnetic cues for navigation neither during migration (Papi et al. 2000) nor during homing (Luschi et al. 2001, A kesson et al. 2003), suggesting that this species behaves differently than the loggerhead sea turtles studied in the North…”
