Estimation of age at maturation and growth of Atlantic green turtles (Chelonia mydas) using skeletochronology (2010, background): “As small juveniles, they recruit to the neritic zone in tropical and temperate waters to forage, shifting from omnivory to herbivory (Arthur et al. 2008).”
Plastic and marine turtles: a review and call for research (2016, background): “…undergo an ontogenetic shift in feeding behaviour where they may switch to benthic foraging in neritic areas (although some populations forage pelagically even in larger size classes; Tomás et al., 2001; Witherington, 2002; Hawkes et al., 2006; Arthur et al., 2008; Schuyler et al., 2012).”
Revisiting the ontogenetic shift paradigm: The case of juvenile green turtles in the SW Atlantic (2012, background): “The species is known to undergo an abrupt and irreversible ontogenetic shift in foraging habits early in life (Arthur et al., 2008; Bolten, 2003; Reich et al., 2007).”
Stable isotopes confirm a foraging dichotomy in juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (2010, background): “Such decoupling of carbon and nitrogen incorporation rates has been reported in other isotope studies, but is not well understood (Seminoff et al., 2007; Reich et al., 2007; Arthur et al., 2008).”
Feeding ecology of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the Galapagos Islands (2010, background): “Upon leaving the nesting beach, it has been hypothesized that hatchlings begin an oceanic phase, perhaps floating passively in major current systems (gyres) for several years (Carr & Meylan, 1980; Carr, 1987; Reich et al., 2007; Arthur et al., 2008).”
Trophic ecology of green sea turtles in a highly urbanized bay: Insights from stable isotopes and mixing models (2011, unknown): “Arthur et al. (2008) found skin δ15N from 6.0‰ to 12.0‰ for green turtles in Australia.”
Diversity in trophic interactions of green sea turtles Chelonia mydas on a relatively pristine coastal foraging ground (2011, unknown): “…are traditionally thought to undergo abrupt ontogenetic shifts in their diets, from carni - vory during the pelagic phase of their lives to nearly complete herbivory once they settle in coastal habitats at a curved carapace length (CCL) of 40−44 cm (Chaloupka & Limpus 2001, Arthur et al. 2008).”
Migratory dichotomy and associated phenotypic variation in marine turtles revealed by satellite tracking and stable isotope analysis (2011, background): “…insights into foraging ecology highlighting interspecific differences (Godley et al. 1998), intraspecific dichotomies (Hatase et al. 2002, 2006, Wallace et al. 2006, Caut et al. 2008, Reich et al. 2010) and developmental habitat shifts (Reich et al. 2007, Arthur et al. 2008, McClellan et al. 2010).”
