The United Kingdom Overseas Territory of Montserrat supports modest but regionally important nesting populations of green and hawksbill turtles. However, knowledge of the spatial ecology and regional connectivity of these populations is limited. Here, we

Sea Turtle Response to Climate Change: Analyzing Current and Predicting Future Impacts on Populations, Habitat, and Prey Populations [PDF]
With the prediction of devastating global climate change effects for the near future, scientists are expanding their research and understanding of some of the most severely affected organisms.

We present vital life‐history and demographic data including the oceanic stage duration, timing of ontogenetic habitat shifts, and multi‐year foraging patterns of eastern North Pacific green sea turtles found in Southern California. The findings were obtained by analyzing sea turtle bones (age and growth via skeletochronology; and habitat and diet via ...

Factors affecting hatch success of hawksbill sea turtles on Long Island, Antigua, West Indies. [PDF]
Current understanding of the factors influencing hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) hatch success is disparate and based on relatively short-term studies or limited sample sizes.

Acoustic telemetry and network analysis reveal the space use of multiple reef predators and enhance marine protected area design [PDF]
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.

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 ...

The developmental biogeography of hawksbill sea turtles in the North Pacific [PDF]
AbstractHigh seas oceanic ecosystems are considered important habitat for juvenile sea turtles, yet much remains cryptic about this important life‐history period. Recent progress on climate and fishery impacts in these so‐called lost years is promising, but the developmental biogeography of hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) has not been ...
