Updated global conservation status and priorities for marine turtles
Wallace, B. P.; Bandimere, A. N.; Abreu-Grobois, F. A.; Acosta, H.; Akiti, J.; Akomedi, M.; Alfaro-Shigueto, J.; Allen, C. D.; Angenda, D.; Ayissi, I.Assessing conservation status and pursuing applicable management priorities for marine megafauna across multiple scales pose significant challenges. Because marine turtles exemplify these challenges, the IUCN Marine Turtle Specialist Group (MTSG) developed the 'conservation priorities portfolio' (CPP) framework in 2011 to evaluate population risk and threats for regional management units (RMUs). Here, the MTSG ...

Patrício, A. R.; Beal, M.; Barbosa, C.; Diouck, D.; Godley, B. J.; Madeira, F. M.; Regalla, A.; Traoré, M. S.; Senhoury, C.; Sidina, E.; Catry, P.Networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) are invaluable for the protection of species with high dispersal capacity, yet connectivity within networks is poorly understood. We demonstrate the connectivity within the regional MPA network in West Africa (RAMPAO), mediated by the largest green turtle population in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. We equipped with satellite tags 45 female green turtles nesting in the Bij...

Climate change and marine turtles: recent advances and future directions
Patrício, A. R.; Hawkes, L. A.; Monsinjon, J. R.; Godley, B. J.; Fuentes, M. M. P. BClimate change is a threat to marine turtles that is expected to affect all of their life stages. To guide future research, we conducted a review of the most recent literature on this topic, highlighting knowledge gains and research gaps since a similar previous review in 2009. Most research has been focussed on the terrestrial life history phase, where expected impacts will range from habitat loss and decrease...
