Long-Term Climate Forcing in Loggerhead Sea Turtle Nesting
PLoS ONE, 2011 The long-term variability of marine turtle populations remains poorly understood, limiting science and management. Here we use basin-scale climate indices and regional surface temperatures to estimate loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) nesting at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
