Identifying and comparing phases of movement by leatherback turtles using state-space models (2008, methodology): “The end of internesting has previously been defined using the final nesting event (Troëng et al., 2005), but observational data may be incomplete or unavailable.”
Satellite-tracking of female loggerhead turtles highlights fidelity behavior in northeastern Brazil (2010, background): “…were identified as those areas where turtles showed restricted movements (multidirectional and backtracked over previous tracks) following postnesting migrations, which continued until the transmitters stopped sending information or until turtles engaged new return migrations (Troeng et al. 2005).”
Evidence from genetic and Lagrangian drifter data for transatlantic transport of small juvenile green turtles (2010, background): “For Costa Rican adult turtles, the average of direct distances for 10 individuals (Troëng et al., 2005) was 512 km (range 130–1250 km).”
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).”
Important areas at sea for adult loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: satellite tracking corroborates findings from potentially biased sources (2008, background): “Satellite tracking of marine turtles has been used to identify migratory pathways and feeding grounds and to study behaviour in the foraging habitat (e.g. Godley et al. 2002a; Godley et al. 2002b; Troëng et al. 2005; Hays et al. 2006; Myers and Hays 2006; McMahon et al. 2007).”
Behavioural polymorphism in one of the world’s largest populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (2010, background): “…are often constrained, findings are almost instant and spatial information often surpasses that resulting from flipper tagging of hundreds or thousands of turtles over a number of years (e.g. Godley et al. 2003a, Troeng et al. 2005, and compare Margaritoulis et al. 2003 with Zbinden et al. 2008).”
Variation in adult annual survival probability and remigration intervals of sea turtles (2007, methodology): “Short distance between the major foraging ground and the nesting beach reduces the cost of reproductive migrations and contributes to short remigration intervals (Troëng et al. 2005).”
Satellite tracking highlights the need for international cooperation in marine turtle management (2006, methodology): “Additionally, the near extirpation of nesting turtles in the Cayman Islands may have had demographic consequences for other Caribbean rookeries: a density-dependent effect on foraging grounds (Bjorndal et al. 2000) may have facilitated compensatory population growth in extant Caribbean green turtle ”
Unravelling migratory connectivity in marine turtles using multiple methods (2010, background): “Using satellite transmitters, it has been possible to detail the migration routes and location and usage of foraging grounds of large juvenile to adult turtles, in neritic (Luschi et al. 1998; Tröeng et al. 2005) and pelagic areas (James, Ottensmeyer & Myers 2005).”
Estimation of age at maturation and growth of Atlantic green turtles (Chelonia mydas) using skeletochronology (2010, background): “Unfortunately, age and growth data can be challenging to obtain given the oceanic and highly migratory nature of juveniles (Musick and Limpus 1997) and adults (Plotkin 2003; Troëng et al. 2005), combined with life history traits that include a long life-span, slow growth, and delayed maturity (Chalo”
Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “…home range(s) year after year, confirming patterns of site fidelity established for loggerhead and other sea turtle species (Limpus et al., 1992; Tröeng et al., 2005; Broderick et al., 2007; Zbinden et al., 2008; Schofield et al., 2010a), as well as for juvenile loggerheads (Avens et al.,…”
