Measuring energy expenditure in sub-adult and hatchling sea turtles via accelerometry.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Measuring the metabolic of sea turtles is fundamental to understanding their ecology yet the presently available methods are limited. Accelerometry is a relatively new technique for estimating metabolic rate that has shown promise with a number of ...

Can Beauty Save the World? A Multimethod Analysis of Regulatory Focus Appeals in Climate Change Advertising

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how organizations can strategically design climate change advertising to foster greater consumer involvement by comparing the effectiveness of promotion‐ and prevention‐focused advertising appeals. Using a sequential explanatory mixed‐methods design, a facial coding experiment revealed that promotion appeals reduced ...

Crowdsourcing conservation: unveiling Taiwan’s sea turtle foraging grounds, emerging threats, and residency with broad societal engagement

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Determining sea turtle foraging grounds, emerging threats, and population status are essential for conservation management. Crowdsourced science is a recently recognized approach that enables internet-based data collection, providing important

New nesting site for the expanding green, olive ridley and hawksbill turtle populations in Cabo Verde

Climate Change Ecology
Currently, some sea turtle populations are expanding their home range distribution toward higher latitudes at an unprecedented rate. These expansions are associated to factors such as climate change or and increased conservation efforts.

Small‐ranged species in biodiversity coldspots: maximum rarity, rarity‐weighted richness, and complementarity‐based priorities in the contiguous United States

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species with small ranges tend to occur with other range‐limited species in biodiversity hotspots, a pattern that has motivated both macroecological theory and practical conservation planning. However, not all range‐limited species follow this pattern.

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...
