A Stage‐Based Population Model for Loggerhead Sea Turtles and Implications for Conservation
TL;DR: This article used a Lefkovitch stage class matrix model based on a preliminary life table developed by Frazer (1983a) to point to interim management measures and to identify those data most critical to refining our knowledge about the population dynamics of threatened log-gerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta).

Synopsis of the Biological Data on the Loggerhead Sea Turtle Caretta Caretta (Linnaeus 1758).
TL;DR: This synopsis compiles and reviews the available information on the identity, distribution, life history, populations, exploitation, protection, and management of the loggerhead sea turtle Varetta caretta (Linnaeus 1758) a species threatened by exploitation and the alteration and destruction of its habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green turtle somatic growth model: evidence for density dependence
TL;DR: The carrying capacity of pastures of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum, the major diet plant of the green turtle, is estimated to serve as a baseline to estimate changes in green turtle populations in the Caribbean since pre- Columbian times and to set a goal for recovery for these depleted populations.
New perspectives on the pelagic stage of sea turtle development
TL;DR: It is now obvious that when young cultured sea turtles are released in so-called head-starting projects, the release sites ought to be chosen with the greatest care, and it is also necessary to avoid release localities where the convergence habitat may carry heavy loads of material.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Perspectives on the Pelagic Stage of Sea Turtle Development
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the complexity in the lost-year ecology of sea turtles and found that the convergence habitat may carry heavy loads of buoyant material, in-cluding the dispersed food resources of the surface waters.
