Home range size of adult Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in a coastal and estuarine system is habitat and sex-specific (2016, background): “…estimates of an animal’s home range are of biological interest and important for conservation applications, such as reserve design (Maxwell et al. 2011), management of threatened populations (Seminoff et al. 2002), and identification of overlap with anthropogenic impacts (Rayment et al. 2009).”
Foraging of the green sea turtle Chelonia mydas on seagrass beds at Mayotte Island (indian Ocean), determined by acoustic transmitters (2006, methodology): “Seminoff et al. (2002) showed that the green turtles in Bahia Bay off Los Angeles spent significantly more time at depths of 10 to 30 m during the day and 0 and 10 m during the night, which contrasted with the patterns of depth use by turtles in this study.”
Trophic ecology of green sea turtles in a highly urbanized bay: Insights from stable isotopes and mixing models (2011, unknown): “Among the many disparate green turtle populations in neritic habitats, there is a broad array of major foods consumed (Bjorndal, 1997), with dietary composition often dependent on the local availability of prey resources (Bjorndal, 1997; Hatase et al., 2006; Seminoff et al., 2002).”
Novel GPS tracking of sea turtles as a tool for conservation management (2007, background): “…Hays et al., 2004b; Sale et al., 2006) to coastal foraging or breeding grounds, details about behaviour and habitat use at these regions of seasonal residency remain limited (Heithaus et al., 2002a, b; Houghton et al., 2002; Seminoff et al., 2002; HopkinsMurphy et al., 2003; Yasuda and Arai, 2005).”
Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “However, green turtles (Chelonia mydas) appear to occupy smaller home ranges than loggerhead turtles (Seminoff et al., 2002: 39 km2, Makowski et al., 2006: 2.4 km2, Broderick et al., 2007: 77 km2), and limited description of hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata home ranges suggests they are…”
Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, background): “Indeed, sonic and radio tracking in addition to traditional mark and recapture methods offer greater insight and value for money in some cases (Seminoff et al. 2002, Avens et al. 2003).”
Migration of green turtles Chelonia mydas from Tortuguero, Costa Rica (2005, unknown): “…and migration behavior, including external and internal tagging, sonic, radio and satellite telemetry (Addison et al. 2002; Balazs 1999; Bentivegna 2002; Cheng 2000; Godley et al. 2002; Hays et al. 1999, 2001a, 2001b, 2002a; Luschi et al. 1998; Polovina et al. 2000; Seminoff et al. 2002).”
Global analysis of satellite tracking data shows that adult green turtles are significantly aggregated in Marine Protected Areas (2012, background): “For green turtles, core foraging areas, are typically much smaller in size than the majority of MPAs to which turtles were tracked (e.g. Seminoff et al., 2002, Troëng et al., 2005, Broderick et al., 2007; Hazel, 2009; Godley et al., 2010).”
Revisiting the ontogenetic shift paradigm: The case of juvenile green turtles in the SW Atlantic (2012, methodology): “KDE is a methodology widely used to assess marine turtle habitat use (e.g. Hart and Fujisaki, 2010; Makowski et al., 2006; Seminoff et al., 2002).”
Connectivity, sustainability, and yield: bridging the gap between conventional fisheries management and marine protected areas (2009, background): “…pulcher 15,134 Topping et al. (2005) Elasmobranch Dasyatis lata 1,320,000 Cartamil et al. (2003) Negaprion brevirostris 680,000 Morrissey and Gruber (1993) Reptile Chelonia mydas 16,620,000 Seminoff et al. (2002) the profit level available from outside (other than fishing) opportunities.”
Inter-annual variability in the home range of breeding turtles: implications for current and future conservation management. (2010, methodology): “…date home range studies of juvenile and adult sea turtles have been conducted using radio and sonic telemetry (Mendonca, 1983; Schmid et al., 2002; Seminoff et al., 2002; Hopkins-Murphy et al., 2003), Argos satellite telemetry (Renaud and Carpenter, 1994; Shaver et al., 2005; Eckert et al., 2006;…”
Home range and habitat use of juvenile Atlantic green turtles (Chelonia mydas L.) on shallow reef habitats in Palm Beach, Florida, USA (2006, methodology): “However, in a large marine basin like the Gulf of California, where pastures of macroalgae were found to grow at widely spaced patch intervals, the estimated average green turtle home range measured greater than 16.00 km 2 (Seminoff et al. 2002).”
