• Migration of green turtles Chelonia mydas from Tortuguero, Costa Rica (2005, unknown): “1998), 1,076 km for Cyprus (Godley et al. 2002) and 1,073 km for Hawaii green turtles (Balazs 1994).”
• Important areas at sea for adult loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: satellite tracking corroborates findings from potentially biased sources (2008, background): “Average foraging area home range size was with 305 km2 comparable to the 331 km2 found by Broderick et al. (2007) for loggerhead sea turtles tracked from Cyprus.”
• Unravelling migratory connectivity in marine turtles using multiple methods (2010, methodology): “SATELL ITE TRACKING Between 21 and 23 November 2001, we attached satellite transmitters to 10 post-nesting green turtles according to methodology detailed in Godley et al. (2002).”
• Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “Reports of overwintering turtles have been returned for loggerhead and green turtles for the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific oceans (Felger et al., 1976; Carr et al., 1980; Ogren & McVea, 1995; Godley et al., 2002; Hochscheid et al., 2005, 2007; Hawkes et al., 2007).”
• Migratory corridors and foraging hotspots: critical habitats identified for Mediterranean green turtles (2015, methodology): “Transmitters were attached using epoxy resin following the methodology of Godley et al. (2002).”
• Persistent organic pollutants in the green sea turtle Chelonia mydas: nesting population variation, maternal transfer, and effects on development (2010, unknown): “Green turtle Chelonia mydas nesting populations are generally comprised of individuals that have migrated from a wide range of foraging grounds (Liew et al. 1995, Cheng 2000, Godley et al. 2002, Seminoff et al. 2008 .”
• Behavioural polymorphism in one of the world’s largest populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (2010, methodology): “However, as the technique became more widespread, a shift in emphasis on examining post-nesting migrations occurred (e.g. Luschi et al. 1998, Godley et al. 2002, Hays et al. 2002b).”

• Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, methodology): “The PTT models currently available can either be attached to the top of the turtle carapace, commonly by an epoxy resin (e.g. Godley et al. 2002), or be towed by the turtle through a tether attached to the posterior part of the carapace (e.g. Sasso & Epperly 2007).”
• Foraging of the green sea turtle Chelonia mydas on seagrass beds at Mayotte Island (indian Ocean), determined by acoustic transmitters (2006, background): “…tracking has been frequently used to study long-distance migratory movements between nesting and foraging sites (Luschi et al. 1998, Cheng 2000, Godley et al. 2002, Pelletier et al. 2003); however, this technique is not appropriate for studying the fine-scale behaviour of turtles within a…”
• Post-nesting movements and submergence patterns of loggerhead marine turtles in the Mediterranean assessed by satellite tracking (2003, methodology): “, 1997; Cheng, 2000) and undertaking oceanic crossings with relatively straight headings (Luschi et al., 1996, 1998; Godley et al., 2002).”
• Bottom or midwater: alternative foraging behaviours in adult female loggerhead sea turtles (2007, background): “Other studies using satellite telemetry described the diving behaviour of benthic items female turtles in shallower areas (Papi et al., 1997; Godley et al., 2002, 2003; Luschi et al., 2003; Troëng, Dutton & Evans 2005a; Troëng et al., 2005b; Hawkes et al., 2006) or in similar areas without dive…”

• First records of oceanic dive profiles for leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, indicate behavioural plasticity associated with long-distance migration (2004, unknown): “The standard data reduction technique is to record the time spent in preselected depth intervals (depth ‘bins’) over preselected intervals (typically a few hours; e.g. Godley et al. 2002).”
