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
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 ...
