• Evidence from genetic and Lagrangian drifter data for transatlantic transport of small juvenile green turtles (2010, background): “The movements made by females between clutches within the breeding season are generally small, both for green turtles (Hays et al., 1999) and several other species (e.g. Hays et al., 1991; Schofield et al., 2007, 2009).”
• Migratory dichotomy and associated phenotypic variation in marine turtles revealed by satellite tracking and stable isotope analysis (2011, background): “However, evidence of restricted internesting movements (Schofield et al. 2007, Zbinden et al. 2007b) and low productivity in the internesting habitat and low frequency of foraging behaviour directly observed (Schofield et al. 2006) make foraging highly unlikely as an explanation for the observed…”

• Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, background): “In a few cases, females have also been tagged early in the season to be tracked also during the internesting intervals, showing movements in the close vicinity of the nesting beach (Hays et al. 1991; Godley et al. 2003; Schofield et al. 2007, 2010b, 2010c; Zbinden et al. 2007; Fuller et al. 2008).”
• Pelagic habitat characterization of loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta, in the North Pacific Ocean (1997–2006): Insights from satellite tag tracking and remotely sensed data (2008, background): “Coastal behavior in the Western Pacific may be primarily related to nesting and dispersal from nesting areas (Kamezaki et al., 2003; Cheng and Chen, 1997) and may require a more focused, regional study such as that done by Schofield et al. (2007).”
• The accuracy of Fastloc‐GPS locations and implications for animal tracking (2014, background): “…flying birds, where there is near-continuous line of sight with satellites overhead; while Fastloc-GPS has emerged as an approach that provides highresolution locations for widely ranging marine species that are only briefly visible to the GPS satellites (Schofield et al. 2007; Rutz & Hays 2009).”

• Investigating the viability of photo-identification as an objective tool to study endangered sea turtle populations (2008, background): “Several hundred loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) annually aggregate in the near-shore waters of Laganas Bay to breed from late April to early August (Schofield et al., 2006; Schofield et al., 2007a).”
