Thermal niche, large‐scale movements and implications of climate change for a critically endangered marine vertebrate (2006, background): “However, for larger vertebrates it is possible to directly track movements (e.g. Metcalfe & Arnold, 1997; Luschi et al., 2003) and so empirically establish how environmental conditions shape distribution, allowing objective predictions to be made regarding the implications of climate change.”
Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, background): “As adults, female turtles perform cyclical shuttling migrations between individually specific foraging and breeding areas (Luschi et al. 2003; Godley et al. 2008), which are probably undertaken by males as well (Hays et al.”
Western Mediterranean immature loggerhead turtles: habitat use in spring and summer assessed through satellite tracking and aerial surveys (2005, background): “On the basis of our observations by satellite tracking, we conclude that the turtle movement is partially due to passive drifting, thus stressing the relevance of currents and associated frontal systems for understanding turtle distribution ( Luschi et al. 2003a ).”
Migration routes and foraging behaviour of olive ridley turtles Lepidochelys olivacea in northern Australia (2007, background): “Others describe olive ridley turtles as mostly pelagic with large unidirectional wandering movements (Luschi et al. 2003, Polovina et al. 2003, 2004, Plotkin 2003).”
Why do Argos satellite tags deployed on marine animals stop transmitting (2007, background): “Luschi et al., 2001, 2003; James et al., 2005b, 2006), fish (e.g.”
Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “Turtles have also been tracked swimming against prevailing currents as well as with currents so may only use current flows opportunistically to facilitate transport (Luschi et al. 2003, Polovina et al. 2004).”
How Migrants Get There: Migratory Performance and Orientation (2007, background): “The movements of sea turtles are also affected by currents (Luschi et al. 2003), and juvenile loggerheads (Caretta caretta) move around the North Atlantic gyre (Lohmann et al. 2001).”
Mechanisms of animal global navigation: comparative perspectives and enduring challenges (2005, background): “Displacement experiments carried out in the field have led one group of researchers to think no (lusChi et al. 2001, 2003c; Åkesson et al. 2003).”
Satellite tracking reveals a dichotomy in migration strategies among juvenile loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Atlantic (2009, background): “sea surface height, frontal systems, and oceanic current vectors also likely inXuence the movements of loggerheads (Polovina et al. 2000; Witherington 2002; Luschi et al. 2003; Kobayashi et al. 2008) and other species of sea turtle including green (Chelonia mydas) (Pelletier et al.”
Novel GPS tracking of sea turtles as a tool for conservation management (2007, background): “While satellite and VHF telemetry studies have been effectively used to investigate sea turtle oceanic migratory routes (Luschi et al., 2003; Hays et al., 2004b; Sale et al., 2006) to coastal foraging or breeding grounds, details about behaviour and habitat use at these regions of seasonal residency”
