Isolation by environment in the highly mobile olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) in the eastern Pacific [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018
Spatial and temporal scales at which processes modulate genetic diversity over the landscape are usually overlooked, impacting the design of conservation management practices for widely distributed species. We examine processes shaping population divergence in highly mobile species by re-assessing the case of panmixia in the iconic olive ridley turtle ...

Vulnerability of Key Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches to Future Erosion and Sea Level Rise

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Threatened sea turtles rely on sandy beaches for nesting, linking their long‐term survival to global beach availability. However, beaches worldwide are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic stressors and sea level rise (SLR). Reliable vulnerability assessments require understanding beach dynamics across multiple time scales, informed by ...

Green Sea Turtle Recruitment in the Eastern North Pacific: Patterns Identified Using Geochemical Signatures in Bones

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
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 ...

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 ...
