• Spatiotemporal patterns of annual sea turtle nesting behaviors along an East Central Florida beach (2003, background): “On islands such as Ascension Island (Carr and Carr, 1972; Godley et al., 2001) or Okinawajima (Kikukawa et al., 1996) with distinct sandy and rocky shores, the distribution of sea turtles nests is patchy in part due to the coastal geology.”
• Testing the navigational abilities of ocean migrants: displacement experiments on green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) (2001, methodology): “The experiments were carried out during the Ascension turtles’ nesting season, which runs from December to July (Table 1; Mortimer and Carr 1987; Godley et al. 2001 ).”
• Estimating the number of green and loggerhead turtles nesting annually in the Mediterranean (2002, result): “Within the Mediterranean, green turtles nesting in Turkey are of a similar size and have University Court, MEDASSET UK, People’s Trust for Endangered Species, North of England Zoological Society,a similar clutch size to those in Cyprus (Coley & Smart, 1992; Gerosa et al., 1995; Broderick & Godley, 1”
• Green turtle nesting on Trindade Island, Brazil: abundance, trends, and biometrics (2011, background): “Other studies have estimated the number of nests from track counts based on the proportion of nests relative to total tracks determined from a sub-sample of tracks (Godley et al. 2001, Catry et al. 2002, Weishampel et al. 2003).”
• Mitochondrial DNA diversity and phylogeography of endangered green turtle (Chelonia mydas) populations in Africa (2006, background): “The size of these rookeries is approximately 1500 nesting females per year in Poila˜ o (calculated from Catry et al. 2002), 3000–5000 in Ascension ( Godley et al. 2001 ), 400–600 in Bioko (Toma´ s et al. 2000), 80– 100 in Sa˜ o Tome (Dontaine unpublished), 75–100 in Principe (Dontaine unpublished), ”
• Are green turtles globally endangered (2006, methodology): “For three complete seasons (1999–2001) we monitored activities on all nesting beaches at Ascension Island and assessed a large proportion of activities to determine adult emergence success (number of activities resulting in deposited clutches) for each beach (Godley et al ., 2001).”
• Investigating the viability of photo-identification as an objective tool to study endangered sea turtle populations (2008, background): “The size of sea turtle populations is typically assessed by counting tracks of females on nesting beaches (Demetropoulos and Hadjichristophorou, 1995; Godley et al., 2001; Broderick et al., 2002; Margaritoulis, 2005).”
• Hawksbill sea turtles in seagrass pastures: success in a peripheral habitat (2010, background): “Numbers of nesting green turtles are increasing at some Caribbean and Atlantic nesting beaches ( Godley et al. 2001; Chaloupka et al. 2008), so the number of green turtles sharing seagrass pastures with hawksbills may be”
• Reproductive seasonality and sexual dimorphism in green turtles (2002, methodology): “Temporal distribution of female reproductive effort can be relatively easily monitored by enumerating nests on beaches (Mortimer & Carr 1987, Godley et al. 2001).”
