• Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, background): “Ocean: ocean basin (W: west; C: central; E: eastern); F: adult female; M: adult male; J: juvenile; U: sex/maturity status unknown Godley et al.: Satellite tracking of sea turtles 19 E Atlantic Cape Verde 10 0 0 0 10 Hawkes et al.

• Climate influences the global distribution of sea turtle nesting (2013, background): “Marine turtles are some of the most widely distributed vertebrates on the planet; as adults, individuals of some species can range throughout tropical, temperate and subarctic waters, and can regularly migrate hundreds or thousands of kilometres between foraging areas and nesting grounds (e.g. Lusch”
• Validation of geolocation estimates based on light level and sea surface temperature from electronic tags (2004, methodology): “Satellite telemetry has been successfully used to track pelagic air-breathing animals (McConnell et al. 1999, Mate et al. 2000, Nichols et al. 2000, Polovina et al. 2000, Costa et al. 2001), or animals that spend a large amount of time on the surface, such as sharks (Priede 1984, Eckert & Stewart…”
• Water temperature and internesting intervals for loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles (2002, background): “However, as the use of satellite transmitters and logging equipment on marine turtles increases, so our knowledge of their behaviour whilst at sea continues to expand (e.g. Hochscheid et al., 1999; Nichols et al., 2000).”
• Ontogeny of long distance migration (2014, background): “Indeed, some juvenile turtles have been directly tracked recruiting back to foraging sites close to their breeding grounds (Nichols et al. 2000, Eckert et al. 2008, Peckham et al. 2011).”
• Post-nesting movements and submergence patterns of loggerhead marine turtles in the Mediterranean assessed by satellite tracking (2003, background): “, 2002b) even when these are in the open ocean (Morreale et al., 1996; Hughes et al., 1998; Nichols et al., 2000).”
• Footprints on water: the genetic wake of dispersal among reefs (2007, background): “Direct observations can help us follow dispersal by some larger marine animals directly (e.g., sea turtles, Nichols et al. 2000; tuna, Block et al. 2005), but most tropical marine Wsh (Sale 1980) and invertebrate (Thorson 1950) species disperse via tiny pelagic larvae.”
• Identifying and comparing phases of movement by leatherback turtles using state-space models (2008, background): “Turtles may undergo long pan-oceanic migrations between their nesting and foraging grounds (Nichols et al., 2000, Hays et al., 2004b), but our knowledge of the movements of these animals in the Pacific Ocean is relatively poor.”
• Estimates of sea turtle mortality from poaching and bycatch in Bahía Magdalena, Baja California Sur, Mexico (2006, background): “Juvenile loggerheads that forage off the Baja California peninsula depart from Japan as hatchlings and return as adults to their nesting beaches and thereafter stay in the Western Pacific (Bowen et al., 1995; Nichols et al., 2000).”
• A biologist's guide to assessing ocean currents: a review (2012, background): “…birds or marine mammals, may allow inferences of how environmental factors contribute to the animal’s movement and behaviour (e.g. Sakamoto et al. 1997, Nichols et al. 2000, Hatase et al. 2002, Luschi et al. 2003a, Gaspar et al. 2006, Cotté et al. 2007, Seminoff et al. 2008, Bailleul et al. 2010).”
• Spatiotemporal patterns of annual sea turtle nesting behaviors along an East Central Florida beach (2003, background): “Though evidence from tag returns (Meylan, 1995) is somewhat scanty and the application of satellite telemetry (e.g. Hughes et al., 1998; Cheng, 2000; Nichols et al., 2000) is in its infancy, it is generally accepted that sea turtles possess a high degree of accuracy in returning to previous nesting…”
• A review of long‐distance movements by marine turtles, and the possible role of ocean currents (2003, background): “A precise interpretation of this amazing finding is difficult (the tracked turtle had been in captivity for ten years and was probably sexually mature at the time of tracking), but it is most likely that her movements are truly representative of those of done by younger juveniles returning to Japan ”
• Global patterns for upper ceilings on migration distance in sea turtles and comparisons with fish, birds and mammals (2013, background): “In a unique satellite tracking study, Nichols et al. (2000) tracked a 95-kg captive-reared adultsized loggerhead turtle from its release (and initial capture site) off the coast of Baja California back to its natal Japanese nesting region.”
