• Genetic structuring of immature loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea reflects water circulation patterns (2006, background): “The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is the most common turtle in the Mediterranean Sea (Broderick et al. 2002).”
• Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “Nesting female sea turtles and especially their clutches have been used as indices of population size and trends for well over half a century worldwide (Carr 1954, Pritchard 1982, Bjorndal et al. 1999, Broderick et al. 2002, Margaritoulis 2005, Türkozan & Yilmaz 2008, Mazaris et al. 2017).”
• Investigating the viability of photo-identification as an objective tool to study endangered sea turtle populations (2008, background): “The size of sea turtle populations is typically assessed by counting tracks of females on nesting beaches (Demetropoulos and Hadjichristophorou, 1995; Godley et al., 2001; Broderick et al., 2002; Margaritoulis, 2005).”
• Post-nesting movements and submergence patterns of loggerhead marine turtles in the Mediterranean assessed by satellite tracking (2003, background): “, 1997) is estimated as 2280–2787 females (Broderick et al., 2002) and is considered regionally endangered (Groombridge, 1990).”
• Fine-scale distribution of juvenile Atlantic and Mediterranean loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea (2014, background): “One of the bestknown oceanic migrators is the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), distributed in all tropical and warm-temperate areas and the most abundant sea turtle in the Mediterranean Sea (Broderick et al. 2002; Casale and Margaritoulis 2010).”
• The genetic structure of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean as revealed by nuclear and mitochondrial DNA and its conservation implications (2007, background): “The circumtropical loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is the most common sea turtle breeding in the Mediterranean sea (Broderick et al. 2002).”
• Nest site fidelity and clutch frequency of loggerhead turtles are better elucidated by satellite telemetry than by nocturnal tagging efforts: Implications for stock estimation (2010, background): “For example, recent estimations of Mediterranean loggerhead stocks were strongly underpinned by clutch frequency estimates (Broderick et al., 2002).”
• Variation in reproductive output of marine turtles (2003, methodology): “when an internesting interval (number of days between successive clutches being laid by an individual within a breeding season) of >18 days was recorded Broderick, 1997; Broderick et al., 2002 ), we corrected”
• Variation in adult annual survival probability and remigration intervals of sea turtles (2007, background): “Mediterranean green turtles have been called the most endangered green turtle population in the world, in great part due to historical declines (Broderick et al. 2002).”
• An overview of loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) bycatch and technical mitigation measures in the Mediterranean Sea (2010, background): “It is estimated that 2,280–2,787 loggerhead sea turtles (Broderick et al. 2002) and only 300–400 green turtle females annually nest in the Mediterranean.”
• Bycatch of loggerhead sea turtles: insights from 14 years of stranding data (2008, background): “Because the Mediterranean stock is far smaller than the Atlantic stock (see Broderick et al. 2002, Margaritoulis et al. 2003), a more detailed assessment of turtle–fishery interaction in the Mediterranean that is able to identify stock source of affected individuals is essential.”
