Thermal niche, large‐scale movements and implications of climate change for a critically endangered marine vertebrate (2006, result): “We only tracked females because they are more accessible than male turtles on breeding beaches, but it should be noted that our results may be equally applicable to males as there is no detectable gender difference in the at-sea behavior of female and male leatherback turtles (James et al., 2005).”
Large‐scale movements and high‐use areas of western Pacific leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea (2011, background): “A similar pattern has been documented through telemetry studies of Atlantic leatherback turtles (James et al. 2005) as well as eastern Pacific sharks (Weng et al. 2008, Jorgensen et al. 2010).”
High-use oceanic areas for Atlantic leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) as identified using satellite telemetered location and dive information (2006, background): “... tracked for more than a few months in the Atlantic made annual high latitude migrations (Eckert 1998; Eckert et al. 2006; James et al. 2005a, b). Other studies using satellite telemetry on leatherbacks in the Atlantic have delineated foraging areas, or have illustrated egress routes from low lat”
Home on the range: spatial ecology of loggerhead turtles in Atlantic waters of the USA (2011, background): “Studies investigating the movements of migratory marine species have increased dramatically since the advent of remote tracking and biologging technologies (Bonfil et al., 2005; James et al., 2005a,b, Ream et al., 2005).”
Satellite tracking reveals a dichotomy in migration strategies among juvenile loggerhead turtles in the Northwest Atlantic (2009, methodology): “To reduce spatial bias associated with autocorrelated data, we selected daily locations for each turtle from the STAT Wltered dataset (De Solla et al. 1999; James et al. 2005a).”
Migratory and reproductive movements of male leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) (2005, background): “Tracks of turtles C and E from James et al. (2005) ; track of turtle E updated to 10 March 2005”
Behavioural polymorphism in one of the world’s largest populations of loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta (2010, background): “This places them in contact with a wide range of spatially explicit threats such as incidental capture in marine fisheries in oceanic (Ferraroli et al. 2004, Lewison et al. 2004, Carranza et al. 2006) and coastal waters (James et al. 2005a, Peckham et al. 2008).”
Postnatal dispersal of wandering albatrosses Diomedea exulans: implications for the conservation of the species (2006, background): “Although there is an urgent need to improve our understanding of the movements and distribution of such species to allow the implementation of conservation measures, most currently available information for taxa such as sea turtles, tunas or seabirds (Block et al. 2001, Croxall et al. 2005, James e”
Identifying and comparing phases of movement by leatherback turtles using state-space models (2008, background): “Although leatherback turtles could be on the verge of extinction within the Pacific (Spotila et al., 2000), the majority of satellite tracking research has previously focused on Atlantic populations (Luschi et al., 2003, James et al., 2005b, Hays et al., 2006).”
Post-Nesting Migrations of Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) from Jamursba-Medi, Bird's Head Peninsula, Indonesia (2007, background): “…coriacea) has the largest geographic range of any living marine reptile, and individual turtles have been documented to complete extensive migrations in both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean basins (Ferraroli et al. 2004; Hays et al. 2004; James et al. 2005; Eckert 2006; Benson et al. 2007b).”
Satellite tracking highlights the need for international cooperation in marine turtle management (2006, methodology): “Available at: www.redlist.org), necessitating documentation of threats on migration routes and foraging grounds (Morreale et al. 1996, Lutcavage et al. 1997, Schroeder et al. 2003, James et al. 2005).”
Leatherback turtles as oceanographic indicators: stable isotope analyses reveal a trophic dichotomy between ocean basins (2006, background): “Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are longlived and undertake long-distance migrations every 2– 4 years between nesting beaches in the tropics and foraging grounds in high-latitudes (Morreale et al. 1996; Eckert and Sarti 1997; Ferraroli et al. 2004; Hays et al. 2004; James et al. 2005a, ”
