DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9426
Abstract: Abstract Regional genetic differentiation of mitochondrial lineages occurs in migratory species with natal philopatry such as sea turtles. However, early juvenile dispersal represents a key opportunity for gene flow and colonization of new regions through… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-020-03795-7
Abstract: To maximise reproductive fitness, species make trade-offs among reproductive traits, e.g., offspring quantity vs. offspring size, within energetic, anatomical, and physiological constraints. Sea turtles are a model taxon to study reproductive trade-offs, because they lack… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12555-019-0690-4
Abstract: This paper proposes a method for autonomous underwater vehicles to chase sea turtles without attaching any tag to them, toward efficient and long-term observation of marine life. The method uses a multibeam imaging sonar as… read more here.
