Community understanding and recommendations for sea turtle conservation amidst life-threatening risks on Buru Island [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Buru Island’s rich coastal ecosystems serve as critical habitats for endangered sea turtles, such as the leatherback, green turtle, hawksbill, and olive ridley, which frequently nest and forage along its coasts.

Distribution and growth rates of immature hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata in Fernando de Noronha, Brazil

Endangered Species Research, 2019
Knowledge of life history parameters is essential for the effective management of species of conservation concern. For migratory marine vertebrates such as hawksbill sea turtles Eretmochelys imbricata, feeding aggregations are important developmental ...

Long‐Term Incubation Duration Decline Indicates Climate‐Change Driven Feminization of Three Sea Turtle Species in Florida, USA

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
We analysed more than 110,000 sea turtle nests from three species across Florida to track climate‐driven changes in incubation duration, a simple proxy for hatchling sex. Our results reveal widespread shortening of incubation periods and thus increasing feminisation, but also identify geographic and seasonal refuges where more males are produced.

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.

Artificial Intelligence's Potential in Zoo Animal Welfare

Zoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 403-411, September/October 2025.
Heat map visualization of enclosure space use by meerkats, generated by the artificial intelligence model described in the case study. ABSTRACT The thorough, objective, and regular assessment of animal welfare in zoos and aquariums is rapidly becoming an essential task for these institutions.

Large marine protected areas can encompass movements of diverse megafauna

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2454-2463, September 2025.
Our results provide clear evidence for the value of the large scale of the Chagos Archipelago very large marine protected area (VLMPA) for protection of taxonomically diverse mobile megafauna. Further, we highlight the value of the VLMPA approach as a strategy towards achieving 30% ocean protection by 2030.

Separating biological signal from methodological noise in home range estimates

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2131-2144, September 2025.
Abstract Space use is commonly estimated in animal ecology and has become a cornerstone of evidence‐based conservation planning, with animal tracking increasingly used to underpin the designation of protected areas with high conservation value. However, tracking technologies and analytical methods may introduce biases in home range size estimates.
