Up-beat motion in swimming limbs: New insights into assessing movement of free-living marine vertebrates. [PDF]
, 2003 A new system is presented for assessing the movement of animal limbs including, after suitable calibration, quantification of limb stroke frequency and amplitude, which may be used to derive limb angular velocity and acceleration.

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 51-64, January 2026.Abstract Many sea turtle populations face severe declines in the Asia‐Pacific region and, although threats are widely recognised, drivers are practically unknown, especially in Indonesia. We surveyed 140 respondents at three sites in Sumatra, Indonesia (Padang, Mentawai, Nias) to identify how sociodemographic and cultural characteristics across these ...

Acoustic telemetry and network analysis reveal the space use of multiple reef predators and enhance marine protected area design [PDF]
, 2016 Marine protected areas (MPAs) are commonly employed to protect ecosystems from threats like overfishing. Ideally, MPA design should incorporate movement data from multiple target species to ensure sufficient habitat is protected.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Using a 52‐year dataset on captive green turtles, our study reveals that individual quality and age are the primary drivers of reproductive patterns. We found that high‐quality turtles bred more consistently throughout their lives and that females maintained a high reproductive value into old age despite evidence of physical aging.

Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa Rica
Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT Sea turtle species, even when sharing nesting beaches, exhibit distinct at‐sea movements and foraging behavior. At Playa Cabuyal, a sea turtle nesting beach in northwest Costa Rica, we utilized satellite telemetry to reveal the post‐nesting movement of green turtles (Chelonia mydas, n = 9) alongside carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis ...
