Persistent Leatherback Turtle Migrations Present Opportunities for Conservation

PLoS Biology, 2008
Effective transboundary conservation of highly migratory marine animals requires international management cooperation as well as clear scientific information about habitat use by these species. Populations of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in the eastern Pacific have declined by >90% during the past two decades, primarily due to ...

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Sea‐turtle observations at Matura Beach, Trinidad, using thermal UAS imagery: A strategy to support monitoring and conservation efforts

Wildlife Society Bulletin
The use of drones in wildlife monitoring and conservation efforts can offer remarkable advantages over traditional in situ monitoring techniques. Trinidad and Tobago is a twin‐island state situated at the southeastern end of the Lesser Antilles, which ...

Atlantic leatherback migratory paths and temporary residence areas. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Sea turtles are long-distance migrants with considerable behavioural plasticity in terms of migratory patterns, habitat use and foraging sites within and among populations. However, for the most widely migrating turtle, the leatherback turtle

Telomeres, age and reproduction in a long-lived reptile. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
A major interest has recently emerged in understanding how telomere shortening, mechanism triggering cell senescence, is linked to organism ageing and life history traits in wild species.

Exploring sociodemographic and cultural characteristics of sea turtle take and use to support effective conservation strategies in Indonesia

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 51-64, January 2026.
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 ...

At‐sea distribution of seals on the Northwest European Shelf: Towards transboundary conservation and management

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study provides the first comprehensive, regionally scalable distribution estimates for pinnipeds across the NWES and its constituent countries. The modelling framework is adaptable to other central‐place and migratory species, supporting transboundary biodiversity assessments and international conservation policy. We discuss common limitations and

Crying a river: how much salt-laden jelly can a leatherback turtle really eat? [PDF]

, 2017
Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are capital breeders that accumulate blubber (33 kJ g−1 wet mass) by hyperphagia on a gelatinous diet at high latitudes; they breed in the tropics.

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.

Distribution Models Reveal Important Coastal Habitats for Endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim With the development and operation of offshore wind farms along the United States East Coast, it is imperative that we understand the distributions of vulnerable species so we can track and predict potential interactions. We focused on leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) as they depend on this region for important stages of ...
