Marine mammals can play important ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems, and their presence be key to community structure function. Consequently, marine are often considered indicators of ecosystem health flagship species. Yet, historical population declines caused by exploitation, additional current threats, such as climate change, fisheries bycatch, pollution maritime development, continue impact many mammal species, at least 25% classified threatened (Critically Endangered, Endangered or...
Climate change is a threat to marine turtles that expected affect all of their life stages. To guide future research, we conducted review the most recent literature on this topic, highlighting knowledge gains and research gaps since similar previous in 2009. Most has been focussed terrestrial history phase, where impacts will range from habitat loss decreased reproductive success feminization populations, but changes periodicity, shifts latitudinal ranges, foraging are phase. Models have...
Given the potential vulnerability of sea turtles to climate change, a growing number studies are predicting how various climatic processes will affect their nesting grounds. However, these limited by scale, because they predict single process but likely occur simultaneously and cause cumulative effects. This study addresses need for structured approach investigate multiple may turtle population. Here, we use assessment framework assess impact on grounds used northern Great Barrier Reef...

Abstract Projected sea‐level rise (SLR) is expected to cause shoreline erosion, saline intrusion into the water table and inundation flooding of beaches coastal areas. Areas most vulnerable these physical impacts include small, tropical low‐lying islands, which are often key habitat for threatened endemic species, such as sea turtles. Successful conservation species relies upon ability managers understand current threats quantify mitigate future species. This study investigated how might...
Sea turtles are an iconic group of marine megafauna that have been exposed to multiple anthropogenic threats across their different life stages, especially in the past decades. This has resulted population declines, and consequently many sea turtle populations now classified as threatened or endangered globally. Although some worldwide showing early signs recovery, still face fundamental threats. is problematic since important ecological roles. To encourage informed conservation planning...
Abstract Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability cope projected increases in ambient will depend on capacity adapt shifts climatic regimes. Here, we assessed the extent which phenological could mitigate impacts from (from 1.5 3°C air 1.4 2.3°C sea surface 2100 at our sites) four species turtles, under a...

Context Systematic conservation planning is increasingly used to identify priority areas for protection in marine systems. However, ecosystem-based approaches typically use density estimates as surrogates animal presence and spatial modeling may not take into account daily or seasonal movements of animals. Additionally, sympatric inter-related species are often managed separately, which be cost-effective. This study aims demonstrate an evidence-based method inform the biological basis...

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.

Introduction Microplastics (i.e., plastic debris smaller than 5mm) found in coastal areas can impact the marine habitat used by endangered species since they may alter sand properties including temperature and permeability. Such alterations pose a significant threat to turtle populations as nest productivity, sexual development, hatchling fitness are dependent on conditions within nest, which incubate sand. Given that there is record of microplastic presence at nesting sites, this study was...
Enhancing species resilience to changing environmental conditions is often suggested as a climate change adaptation strategy. To effectively achieve this, it necessary first understand the factors that determine resilience, and their relative importance in shaping ability of adjust complexities change. This an extremely challenging task because requires comprehensive information on traits. We explored 58 marine turtle regional management units (RMUs) change, encompassing all seven turtles...
Abstract Coastal areas provide nesting habitat for marine turtles that is critical the persistence of their populations. However, many coastal are highly affected by development, which affects reproductive success turtles. Knowing extent to exposed these threats essential guide management initiatives. This information particularly important with both high density and dense human a combination common in United States. We assessed loggerhead ( Caretta caretta ), green Chelonia mydas Kemp's...
Abstract Sea level rise has accelerated during recent decades, exceeding rates recorded the previous two millennia, and as a result many coastal habitats species around globe are being impacted. This situation is expected to worsen due anthropogenically induced climate change. However, magnitude relevance of increase in sea (SLR) uncertain for marine terrestrial that reliant on habitat foraging, resting or breeding. To address this, we showcase use low-cost approach assess impacts SLR...
