Marine turtles and IUCN Red Listing: A review of the process, the pitfalls, and novel assessment approaches (2008, methodology): “Knowledge on former abundance can be gained using both reconstructions of past population size (Broderick et al., 2006; Bjorndal and Jackson, 2003; Chaloupka and Balazs, 2007) as well as genetic approaches such as determining the ratio of current population size to effective population size…”
Migration of green turtles Chelonia mydas from Tortuguero, Costa Rica (2005, unknown): “From an ecosystem perspective, green turtles fill an important role in seagrass communities by cropping seagrass, speeding up nutrient cycling and preventing sediment build-up (Bjorndal and Jackson 2003; Jackson et al. 2001).”
Regional Management Units for Marine Turtles: A Novel Framework for Prioritizing Conservation and Research across Multiple Scales (2010, background): “IUCN Red List, Alliance for Zero Extinction, Conservation ‘Hotspots’), in the case of globally distributed species like marine turtles, regional population segments occupy distinct ecological roles and thus merit conservation attention, because extinction of an RMU would represent the loss of the sp”
Advances in the Application of Genetics in Marine Turtle Biology and Conservation (2017, background): “Many marine turtle populations have suffered large declines due to anthropogenic activities, and there is evidence that humancaused reductions began several centuries ago (Bjorndal and Jackson, 2003; McClenachan et al., 2006).”
