Satellite Tracking Sea Turtles: Opportunities and Challenges to Address Key Questions (2018, background): “Among these components are the range occupied, which may be influenced by sea temperature (McMahon and Hays, 2006), seasonal movements into cooler waters to feed (Hawkes et al.”
Inter-annual variability in the home range of breeding turtles: implications for current and future conservation management. (2010, background): “Furthermore, as climate change is already altering, or is predicted to alter, population dynamics and species distributions, conservation strategies must plan to encompass not only existing but possible future sites required by the species under consideration (McMahon and Hays, 2006; Parnell et al.,”
Ocean‐scale prediction of whale shark distribution (2012, background): “Other species have previously been described as predominantly occurring in a small range of temperatures, e.g. leatherback turtle (15–33 C; McMahon & Hays, 2006), salmon sharks (2–8 C in winter; Weng et al., 2005) and white sharks (10–14 C; Boustany et al., 2002).”
Global climate change, range changes and potential implications for the conservation of marine cetaceans: a review and synthesis (2009, methodology): “Such research can be achieved using data from traditional surveys (e.g. MacLeod et al. 2008) or more recent satellite telemetry and remote sensing information (e.g. McMahon & Hays 2006) to correlate cetacean occurrence and sea temperature.”
Pelagic habitat characterization of loggerhead sea turtles, Caretta caretta, in the North Pacific Ocean (1997–2006): Insights from satellite tag tracking and remotely sensed data (2008, methodology): “…these two SSTdatasets is very high (Evan A. Howell, pers. comm.), and for simplicity SST is henceforth referred to as Pathfinder SST. Ocean surface temperature was chosen as a candidate variable because it is known to be a strong orientation cue for sea turtles (e.g., McMahon and Hays, 2006).”
Widespread occurrence of the jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca in Irish coastal and shelf waters (2008, background): “Given recent warming of the NE Atlantic and range extensions reported for a number of taxa including fish, turtles and plankton (Hays et al., 2005; Perry et al., 2005; McMahon and Hays, 2006), we might expect that a predominantly warm-water species such as P. noctiluca will be expanding its range.”
Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “For example, leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea are expected to expand their range into higher latitudes as ocean temperatures warm (McMahon & Hays 2006).”
Past, current and future thermal profiles of green turtle nesting grounds: Implications from climate change (2010, methodology): “ICOADS is an extensive dataset which provides various meteorological data for all oceans of the world since 1854 and has been used by other similar studies (e.g. Hays et al., 2003; McMahon and Hays, 2006; Fuentes et al., 2009a).”
Long-term movements of tiger sharks satellite-tagged in Shark Bay, Western Australia (2007, background): “Several tiger sharks tagged oV the northeastern USA have traveled more than 6,500 km to the western coast of Africa (Kohler et al. 1999, N. Kohler, personal communication).”
The biology and ecology of the ocean sunfish Mola mola: a review of current knowledge and future research perspectives (2009, background): “Leatherback turtles migrate seasonally into higher latitudes once water temperatures are warm enough (McMahon and Hays 2006), presumably to take advantage of the greater plankton productivity in spring and summer at these latitudes (Parsons et al.”
A potential tool to mitigate the impacts of climate change to the caribbean leatherback sea turtle (2012, background): “The leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is thought to be at relictual population levels in the Pacific Ocean, potentially as a result of turtles being drowned in fishing nets (Ferraroli et al., 2004; McMahon & Hays, 2006).”
