• Stable isotopes confirm a foraging dichotomy in juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (2010, background): “On theotherhand, approximately80%of theneritic turtles returned the following year (McClellan and Read, 2007), showing a characteristic pattern of strong site fidelity to seasonal feeding locations (Avens et al., 2003;Broderick et al., 2007;Mansfield et al., 2009).”
• Goal navigation and island-finding in sea turtles (2008, background): “In several studies, juvenile turtles were displaced and released at various distances (approximately 2–70 km) away from capture sites (e.g., Carr, 1967; Ireland, 1980; Standora et al., 1995; Avens et al., 2003a).”
• Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “…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., 2003; Hopkins-Murphy et al., 2003; Avens & Lohmann, 2004).”
• Western Mediterranean immature loggerhead turtles: habitat use in spring and summer assessed through satellite tracking and aerial surveys (2005, background): “Specimens in this size range are competent swimmers, can travel against weak currents (Wyneken 1997; Dellinguer and Freitas 1999; Polovina et al. 2000), and may exhibit strong homing behaviour (Renaud and Carpenter 1994; Avens et al. 2003).”
• Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, background): “Indeed, sonic and radio tracking in addition to traditional mark and recapture methods offer greater insight and value for money in some cases (Seminoff et al. 2002, Avens et al. 2003).”
• Satellite tracking reveals a dichotomy in migration strategies among juvenile loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Atlantic (2009, background): “Displaced loggerheads have been shown to return to original capture sites within a few days or weeks of relocation, exhibiting both homing behavior and site Wdelity (Byles 1988; Keinath 1993; Ryder 1995; Musick and Limpus 1997; Avens 2003; Avens et al. 2003; Avens and Lohmann 2004; MansWeld 2006).”
