Trophic ecology of a green turtle breeding population (2013, unknown): “The nesting population represents a mixture of individuals from a wide range of foraging sites, while each foraging aggregation is comprised of individuals that are relatively site-fixed (Campbell 2003, Bjorndal et al. 2005, Meylan et al. 2011).”
Hawksbill sea turtles in seagrass pastures: success in a peripheral habitat (2010, background): “To what extent do green turtles affect the quality of seagrass habitats for hawksbills? UCR is a good site to address this question because the green turtle population has fluctuated sixfold over the 30-year study as a result of changes in recruitment in response to changes in food availability (Bjo”
Population ecology of the green/black turtle (Chelonia mydas) in Bahía Magdalena, Mexico (2007, background): “89 year!1) (Frazer 1987; Caillouet et al. 1995; Heppell et al. 2003b; Campbell and Laqueux, 2005; Bjorndal et al. 2005).”
Encouraging outlook for recovery of a once severely exploited marine megaherbivore (2008, background): “Most measures of sea turtle abundance are based on monitoring of the number of nesters observed or nests laid each season on a beach (Chaloupka & Limpus, 2001).”
Simulated green turtle grazing affects structure and productivity of seagrass pastures (2005, background): “Changes in abundance of green turtles on a foraging ground in the southern Bahamas have been related to changes in productivity of T. testudinum as a result of overgrazing at high green turtle densities (Bjorndal et al. 2000, 2005).”
Marine turtles and IUCN Red Listing: A review of the process, the pitfalls, and novel assessment approaches (2008, background): “Monitoring in-water stocks is of the utmost importance for crosschecking trends observed on nesting beaches (Bjorndal et al., 2005a).”
Is climate change affecting the population dynamics of the endangered Pacific loggerhead sea turtle (2008, background): “Therefore, comprehensive assessments of the conservation status of loggerheads depend on contemporaneous estimates of abundance in the foraging grounds and on the nesting beaches as was shown for the east Australian loggerhead stock (Chaloupka and Limpus, 2001) and for a Caribbean green turtle stock”
Conservation status of the loggerhead sea turtle in Brazil: an encouraging outlook (2007, unknown): “…useful measure of stock status (Balazs & Chaloupka 2004, Troëng & Rankin 2005) it is preferable to use ageclass-specific survival probabilities and abundance estimates to help diagnose sea turtle population status and trends (Chaloupka & Limpus 2001, 2002, Bjorndal et al. 2005, Dutton et al. 2005).”
