Different male vs. female breeding periodicity helps mitigate offspring sex ratio skews in sea turtles (2014, unknown): “For example there is recent evidence that the traditional method of recording the clutch frequency for females, namely observing flipper tagged individuals as they nest across a season, may underestimate their true clutch frequency (Tucker, 2010; Weber et al., 2013).”
Conservation implications of sea turtle nesting trends: elusive recovery of a globally important loggerhead population (2019, methodology): “The only reliable estimate for clutch frequency in Florida was obtained from the CW MU (Tucker 2010), while the three estimates for remigration interval suitable for analyses are either limited due to inadequate survey coverage (Bjorndal et al. 1983) or from small MUs (Lamont et al. 2014, Phillips…”
Behavioural polymorphism in one of the world’s largest populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (2010, methodology): “Logistical limitations meant that the final 2 criteria of Tucker (2010), ground truthing and genetic verification, were not possible.”
Satellite-tracking of female loggerhead turtles highlights fidelity behavior in northeastern Brazil (2010, background): “…from tag-recapture studies (Tucker et al. 1996, Limpus & Limpus 2001), direct observation (Limpus & Reed 1985), sonic and radio telemetry (Hopkins & Murphy 1981, Hopkins-Murphy et al. 2003) and satellite telemetry (Stoneburner 1982, Godley et al. 2003a,b, Zbinden et al. 2007, Tucker 2009, 2010).”
Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, methodology): “In recent years, genetics, satellite tele metry and ultrasonography have been used to generate improved estimates of clutch frequency, the number of nesting females, and effective population size (Tucker 2010, Blanco et al. 2012, Frey et al. 2014).”
Satellite Tracking Sea Turtles: Opportunities and Challenges to Address Key Questions (2018, background): “Several studies have now used satellite tags in this way and have revealed that turtles lay more clutches within a season than previously suspected (Tucker, 2010; Weber et al., 2013; Esteban et al., 2017; Tucker et al., 2018).”
Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “…understood for marine turtles, despite the fact that hundreds of loggerhead turtles have been satellite tracked to date (n = 854; 518 of those in the USA; figures from the STAT at http://www.seaturtle.org; see also Plotkin & Spotila, 2002; Dodd & Byles, 2003; Godley et al., 2008; Tucker, 2010).”
Ontogeny in marine tagging and tracking science: technologies and data gaps (2012, background): “In addition to the bias towards adult females, most of the studies to date investigate migration, while fewer studies address the behavior of inter-nesting turtles (Tucker et al. 1995, Zbinden et al. 2007, Tucker 2010).”
