Ecology of Hawksbill Turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata, on a Western Caribbean Foraging Ground (2009, unknown): “Adults travel hundreds or thousands of kilometers from foraging grounds to breeding areas (Horrocks et al. 2001; Troëng et al. 2005; van Dam et al. 2008) and neonates are broadly dispersed by ocean currents (Carr 1987; Musick and Limpus 1997).”
Global patterns for upper ceilings on migration distance in sea turtles and comparisons with fish, birds and mammals (2013, background): “Maximum migration distances were c. 11 000 km (Benson et al. 2011), 2850 km (Hays et al. 2002a), 2150 km (Broderick et al. 2003), 1630 km (Van Dam et al. 2008) and 1050 km, respectively (Whiting, Long & Coyne 2007).”
Different male vs. female breeding periodicity helps mitigate offspring sex ratio skews in sea turtles (2014, background): “Elsewhere in the world, it has also been shown that male turtles tend to remain resident close to the breeding grounds more often than females (van Dam et al., 2008; Arendt et al., 2012), suggesting that this sex-specific migration tendency may be a common feature for sea turtles.”
Satellite tracking large numbers of individuals to infer population level dispersal and core areas for the protection of an endangered species (2013, background): “…(1) hatchling drift influenced by sea currents (Hays et al., 2010b; Gaspar et al., 2012), (2) the evolutionary context of food abundance predictability (Drakare et al., 2006; van Dam et al., 2008) and (3) possible adult mortality risk of migratory routes and foraging sites (van Dam et al., 2008).”
Satellite tracking of sea turtles: Where have we been and where do we go next? (2008, background): “In the insular Caribbean (Horrocks et al. 2001, van Dam et al. 2008), individuals crossed oceanic areas and moved through other neritic areas to their final foraging grounds (Fig.”
Behavioural polymorphism in one of the world’s largest populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (2010, background): “However, for hawksbill turtles, male patterns have been shown to be different to those of adult females from the same population (Van Dam et al. 2008).”
