Isotope analysis reveals foraging area dichotomy for Atlantic leatherback turtles [PDF]

, 2008
Background: The leatherback turtle (Dermachelys corlacea) has undergone a dramatic decline over the last 25 years, and this is believed to be primarily the results of mortality associated with fisheries bycatch followed by egg and nesting female harvest,

Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa Rica

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
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 ...

Sustainable Scenarios in Tourism Based on the Observation of Sea Turtles Can Be in Risk When Social Drivers Change: A Socio‐Ecological Model

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 38, Issue 4, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Nature tourism based on the observation of sea turtles is a socioeconomic activity that promotes the conservation of endangered species. However, tourism can affect the nesting sites, drastically affecting the ecosystem function. In this study, we propose a socio‐ecological model to describe the interplay between tourists and a turtle ...

Habitat fidelity in hawksbill sea turtles

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Climate change is altering habitat suitability and driving shifts in species distributions. To understand potential responses by mobile animals, it is essential to assess levels of plasticity in habitat use, ranging from transience to long‐term fidelity.

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...
