Population declines of vertebrates are common, but rebuilding marine life may be possible. We assessed trends in sea turtle numbers globally, building 61 time series abundance extending beyond 2015, representing monitoring >1200 years. Increases were widespread with significant upward trends, no change, and downward 28, 5 series, respectively. For example, annual nest increased between 1980 2018 from around 4,000 to 16,000 for green turtles at Aldabra (Seychelles, Indian Ocean) 2008 2020 500...
In the face of environmental change, high-quality and fine-scale information is essential in order to monitor highly dynamic environments on land sea. While traditional approaches data collection a number practical limitations, advanced technologies could supplement further improve our efforts. Taking sea turtles as modeling organism, we present novel methodological framework for monitoring species by means technologies, including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles coupled with image temperature...
Abstract Rapid anthropogenic climate change is driving threatened biodiversity one step closer to extinction. Effects on native are determined by an interplay between species' exposure and their specific ecological life‐history characteristics that render them even more susceptible. Impacts have already been reported, however, a systematic risk evaluation of marine populations lacking. Here, we employ trait‐based approach assess the 90 Mediterranean species change, combining increased sea...
Identification of important habitats charismatic marine megafauna is essential to enhance our conservation capacity. Still, for species such as sea turtles that have a long-life span, complex life history and highly migratory nature, spatially delineating areas not simple task. Even in the case are identified, ability draw effective measures propose prioritization schemes faces additional challenges, due dynamic climate-driven redistribution habitats. Here, we compile database on foraging...
A better understanding of the habitat distribution highly migratory marine megafauna xand its potential exposure to anthropogenic activities is essential for effective protection. Here, we deliver a comprehensive view on suitable foraging representatives megafauna, loggerheads, Caretta caretta, in Mediterranean Sea, along with an assessment their fisheries. Using available published satellite tracking information adult built series models develop map across basin. We also assessed delineated...
