A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, background): “, 2000), some nesting populations in the Atlantic Ocean are thought to be increasing (Dutton et al., 2005; Girondot et al., 2007; McGowan et al., 2008), and thus somewhat less at risk of extinction.”
Making Great Leaps Forward: Accounting for Detectability in Herpetological Field Studies (2007, background): “Kendall and Bjorkland (2001) and Dutton et al. (2005) applied this model to nesting sea turtles.”
Large‐scale movements and high‐use areas of western Pacific leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea (2011, background): “…environmental perturbation in the marine environment, suggesting that the western Pacific stock is more likely to respond to conservation action on the nesting beaches directed at increasing hatchling production (Dutton et al. 2005) than has been evident for the eastern Pacific leatherback stock.”
Energy budget calculations indicate resource limitation in Eastern Pacific leatherback turtles (2006, unknown): “Further, EP leatherback populations are in danger of becoming extinct within the next 20 yr (Spotila et al. 2000), whereas NA leatherback populations are stable or decreasing only slightly (Troëng et al. 2004), and some are increasing (Dutton et al. 2005).”
Population stock structure of leatherback turtles (Dermochelyscoriacea) in the Atlantic revealed using mtDNA and microsatellite markers (2013, background): “1 in the West African rookeries at frequencies of 0.3 and 3.4 %, respectively (Table 2).”
Marine turtles and IUCN Red Listing: A review of the process, the pitfalls, and novel assessment approaches (2008, background): “…papers on marine turtles when describing the species' status, even though the specific populations under study have often been anything but endangered (Diez and van Dam, 2002; Godley et al., 2003; Seminoff et al., 2003; Dutton et al., 2005; Troëng and Rankin, 2005; Richardson et al., 2006).”
Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, background): “As these technologies become widespread and cost-effective, there will be opportunity to develop long-term monitoring experiments with wild populations to validate age estimates (e.g. Dutton et al. 2005) and ultimately better understand population vital rates and heterogeneity among individuals.”
Oceanic dispersal of juvenile leatherback turtles: going beyond passive drift modeling (2012, background): “Natal homing in sea turtles is now generally accepted and supported by a growing body of genetic evidence (Meylan et al. 1990, Bowen & Karl 1996, Dutton et al. 2005).”
Leatherback turtles as oceanographic indicators: stable isotope analyses reveal a trophic dichotomy between ocean basins (2006, background): “For example, eastern Pacific (EP) leatherbacks, on average, are smaller, less massive, have smaller clutch sizes, and longer remigration intervals (period between subsequent nesting seasons) than their North Atlantic (NA) counterparts (Boulon et al. 1996; Reina et al. 2002; Dutton et al. 2005).”
