Abstract Aim Understanding the spatial ecology of animal movements is a critical element in conserving long‐lived, highly mobile marine species. Analyzing networks developed from six sea turtle species reveals connectivity and can help prioritize conservation efforts. Location Global. Methods We collated telemetry data 1235 individuals reviewed literature to determine our dataset's representativeness. used develop at different scales examine areas, connections, their geographic arrangement....

Multi-species conservation strategies can be useful to maximize allocation of resources. To effectively plan for multi-species management practices, it is important have a robust understanding the variability in spatial and behavioral ecology sympatric species. address this context marine turtles, study explored fine-scale habitat use by three species (juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas), Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) loggerhead (Caretta caretta)) foraging area near Crystal River,...
Abstract Knowledge of the spatial distribution populations is fundamental to management plans for any species. When tracking data are used describe distributions, it sometimes assumed that reported locations individuals delineate extent areas by target population. Here we examine existing approaches validate this assumption, highlight caveats, and propose a new method more informative assessment number tracked animals (i.e. sample size) necessary identify patterns. We show how can be...
The ability of individuals to actively control their movements, especially during the early life stages, can significantly influence distribution population. Most marine turtle species develop oceanic foraging habitats different stages. However, flatback turtles ( Natator depressus ) are endemic Australia and only with an exclusive neritic development. To explain lack dispersal this species, we predicted post-hatchlings in Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia, using oceanographic...
Marine turtles play an important role in the culture and economy of numerous coastal communities around world. However, legal framework that regulates consumptive use these reptiles varies among countries.For example, consumption has been regarded as common several rural areas Venezuela, especially eastern coast Guajira Peninsula. To assess scale cultural component this use, we interviewed 35 residents from southwestern Gulf Venezuela (Venezuelan part Peninsula), using a combination in-depth...
Marine turtles are considered by people of several cultures to be a gift from God. This belief often leads the use these reptiles in traditional and systems among aboriginal peoples. Certainly this is case Wayuú people, who an indigenous group settled between Venezuela Colombia, Guajira Peninsula. To assess value marine ancestral especially as medicinal resource, we carried out comprehensive open-ended question-based survey healers caretakers (locally known Piaches Oütsüs) 4 communities...
Seagrass meadows are natural carbon sinks, and their conservation restoration play a crucial role in climate change mitigation adaptation. However, blue projects hindered, most nations, by major gaps understanding the distribution extent of seagrasses. Here, we show how satellite tracking green turtles ( Chelonia mydas ) provided advance identifying novel seagrass resources Red Sea. By 53 nesting turtles, identified 38 distinctive foraging sites. All ground-truthed sites (100%) meadow,...
Named storms can cause substantial impacts on the habitat and reproductive output of threatened species, such as marine turtles. To determine named turtles inform management, it is necessary to exposure turtle nesting grounds recent storm activities. address this, remote sensing information tracks coupled with ground data were used investigate temporal spatial overlap between for four species in continental United States America. All exposed storms, variation driven by distribution each...
We report the crab species Callinectes sapidus (Decapoda: Portunidae) as a diet item for adult olive ridleys (Lepidochelys olivacea). This is first-ever of this part ridley turtles and helps further our understanding foraging ecology in coastal marine habitats.Se reporta la especie de cangrejo como nuevo ítem alimenticio para tortugas Lora adultas Este trabajo es pionero en el conocimiento los hábitos alimenticios tortuga Venezuela.
Abstract The impact of fisheries on marine megafauna is widely known but most studies have focused commercial fisheries, overlooking the effect local recreational fisheries. This particularly important for turtles in near-shore habitats that overlap with We assessed scallop distribution and behaviour foraging coastal waters upper Eastern Gulf Mexico. Before during season we quantified density vessels sighted, satellite tracked four to assess their behaviour. relative sighted overlapped 48%...
The southern Gulf of Mexico (sGoM) is home to an extensive oil recovery and development infrastructure. In addition, the basin harbors sites submarine hydrocarbon seepage receives terrestrial inputs from bordering rivers. We used stable carbon, nitrogen, radiocarbon analyses bulk sediment organic matter define current baseline isoscapes surface sediments in sGoM determined which factors might influence them. These will be useful for accessing future environmental impacts. also examined...
Natural and human-induced hazards climatic risks threaten marine coastal ecosystems worldwide, with severe consequences for these socio-ecological systems. Therefore, assessing climate vulnerability (exposure, sensitivity adaptive capacity) the cumulative environmental impacts of multiple are essential in planning management. In this article, we review some approaches used assessment to learn about state-of-the-art on subject. Besides, qualitatively evaluated five regions Venezuela using...
