Habitat fidelity in hawksbill sea turtlesNARA Subscribed
Climate change is altering habitat suitability and driving shifts in species distributions. To understand potential responses by mobile animals, it is essential to assess levels of plasticity in habitat use, ranging from transience to long‐term fidelity. Here, we evaluate the fidelity of hawksbill sea turtles ( Eretmochelys imbricata ) to habitats used while foraging (our primary focus), migrating, and nesting. After satellite...
Ecological regime shift drives declining growth rates of sea turtles throughout the West AtlanticNARA Subscribed
Somatic growth is an integrated, individual‐based response to environmental conditions, especially in ectotherms. Growth dynamics of large, mobile animals are particularly useful as bio‐indicators of environmental change at regional scales. We assembled growth rate data from throughout the West Atlantic for green turtles, Chelonia mydas , which are long‐lived, highly migratory, primarily herbivorous mega‐consumers that may mig...
