Current transport of leatherback sea turtles ( Dermochelys coriacea ) in the ocean [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003
While the long-distance movements of pelagic vertebrates are becoming known thanks to satellite telemetry, the factors determining their courses have hardly been investigated. We have analysed the effects of oceanographic factors on the post-nesting movements of three satellite-tracked leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) moving in the southwest ...

Evaluating potential tagging effects on leatherback sea turtles [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2008
Although the use of satellite tracking to study the leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea continues to increase, there has been little inquiry into the effects of this research. We inves- tigated effects of handling and tagging on leatherbacks using state-space estimated positions from 42 turtles satellite-tagged at sea.

Sea Turtle Bycatch Mitigation in U.S. Longline Fisheries

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Capture of sea turtles in longline fisheries has been implicated in population declines of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles. Since 2004, United States (U.S.) longline vessels targeting swordfish and tunas in the

Impacts of nest temperatures on leatherback reproductive success, hatchling morphology, and performance in South Florida

Endangered Species Research, 2023
Leatherback turtles Dermochelys coriacea are experiencing population declines due to various anthropogenic threats. Beaches play a crucial role in the survival of sea turtle species since reproductive success is affected by environmental conditions ...

Community Engagement: An Integral Component of a Multifaceted Conservation Approach for the Transboundary Western Pacific Leatherback

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Bycatch in fisheries is one of the greatest threats to marine megafauna such as sea turtles, and the Biodiversity Impact Mitigation Hierarchy (BIMH) has been proposed as an improved and holistic approach for integrating fisheries management with sea ...

Diel foraging behavior of gravid leatherback sea turtles in deep waters of the Caribbean Sea [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2010
SUMMARY It is generally assumed that leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea), like other species of sea turtle, do not feed while offshore from nesting beaches, and rely instead on fat reserves to fuel reproductive activities. Recent studies, however, provide evidence that leatherbacks may forage during the internesting interval while
