• Quantifying multiple threats to endangered species: an example from loggerhead sea turtles (2011, methodology): “In reality, this shift occurs over a range of ages from 7 to 12 years (Bjorndal et al. 2000, 2003).”
• Evidence from genetic and Lagrangian drifter data for transatlantic transport of small juvenile green turtles (2010, background): “The pelagic stage of green turtles is shorter than for loggerheads (Bjorndal et al., 2000; Reich et al., 2007), so it is not unreasonable to suspect that active navigation is constrained for the smallersized green sea turtles during their pelagic stage.”
• Polymodal foraging in adult female loggerheads (Caretta caretta) (2010, background): “Juvenile loggerheads recruit to neritic foraging areas at sizes between 46 and 64 cm curved carapace length, after about 7‐12 years in oceanic habitats ( Bjorndal et al. 2000, 2003 ).”
• Impacts of fisheries bycatch on loggerhead turtles worldwide inferred from reproductive value analyses (2008, background): “Small loggerhead sizes and low RVs corresponded to longline bycatch in oceanic waters that are well-established developmental habitats for small juvenile loggerheads near the Azores in the NA ( Bjorndal, Bolten & Martins 2000a; Bolten 2003) and in the Mediterranean (Laurent et al. 1998; Carreras et”
• A model of area fidelity, nomadism, and distribution patterns of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, background): “This indicates that in the Mediterranean loggerhead turtles recruit to neritic areas at a smaller size than in the north-western Atlantic (Bjorndal et al. 2000), the south-western (Limpus and”
• Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, background): “The modal size of loggerheads found on the Atlantic coast of northern Europe is about 23 cm CCL (20.5 cm straight carapace length, Hays & Marsh 1997; converted according to Bjorndal et al. 2000), suggesting that Atlantic turtles enter the Mediterranean at this size or larger.”
• Satellite tracking reveals a dichotomy in migration strategies among juvenile loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Atlantic (2009, background): “The classic loggerhead life history model assumes that once immature oceanic loggerheads reach a certain size, an ontogenetic shift occurs and turtles move from oceanic to neritic habitats (Carr 1987; Musick and Limpus 1997; Bjorndal et al. 2000; Snover 2002).”
• The Ecology and Migrations of Sea Turtles 8. Tests of the Developmental Habitat Hypothesis (2011, background): “The ‘‘lost year’’ of Carr et al. (1978) has since been referred to as a pelagic stage (Bjorndal et al., 2000a; Bolten et al., 1993, 1995, 1998), oceanic phase (Bolten, 2003; Mansfield et al., 2009), or epipelagic phase (Carr, 1987; Chaloupka and Limpus, 1997; Limpus and Chaloupka, 1997; Schmid,…”
• Young sea turtles of the pelagic Sargassum-dominated drift community: habitat use, population density, and threats (2012, background): “…from the eastern Atlantic near the Azores and Madeira (Bolten et al. 1993) with SCL converted from curved carapace length (CCL) using CCL = 1.388 + (1.053) (SCL), after Bjorndal et al. (2000); bturtles from coastal waters of the eastern Gulf of Mexico (Schmid 1998, Witzell & Schmid 2004,…”
• Genetic structuring of immature loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea reflects water circulation patterns (2006, background): “Although the average length of loggerhead sea turtles off theAzores is about 30 cm,much larger animals have been recorded there (Bjorndal et al. 2000) and elsewhere in the eastern Atlantic (Hays and Marsh 1997).”
• Evidence of a seamount effect on aggregating visitors (2008, background): “Juvenile loggerhead turtles are transported by the North Atlantic Gyre current and live a pelagic life for about 8 yr in the eastern Atlantic, including around the Azores (Bjorndal et al. 2000).”
