Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “Loggerhead turtles, including both sexes and juveniles, likely number hundreds of thousands in United States eastern seaboard waters (Shoop & Kenney, 1992; Ehrhart et al., 2003; Mansfield et al., 2009).”
A biologist's guide to assessing ocean currents: a review (2012, background): “…dynamics of mesoscale eddies located along the path of a satellite-tracked animal (Polovina et al. 2004, Hays et al. 2006, Sasamal & Panigraphy 2006, Hatase et al. 2007, Revelles et al. 2007, Doyle et al. 2008, Mansfield et al. 2009, Fossette et al. 2010a, Howell et al. 2010, Mencacci et al. 2010).”
Young sea turtles of the pelagic Sargassum-dominated drift community: habitat use, population density, and threats (2012, background): “Loggerhead sea turtles and 3 additional species are best known within coastal/neritic waters where older immature turtles and adults are found (Musick & Limpus 1997, McClellan & Read 2007, Mansfield et al. 2009).”
Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, result): “Once again, this is in accordance with tracking data obtained on other loggerhead populations outside the Mediterranean (McClellan & Read 2007; Kobayashi et al. 2008; Mansfield et al. 2009; Arendt et al. 2012b).”
Stable isotopes confirm a foraging dichotomy in juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (2010, background): “If overwintering sites are as consistent as summer foraging areas, which is likely to be the case (Broderick et al., 2007; Hawkes et al., 2007; Mansfield et al., 2009), then we could infer from our satellite tracks that these loggerheads were feeding opportunistically in the epipelagia at the edge o”
