Seagrass connectivity on the west coast of Africa supports the hypothesis of gr...
Tavares, Ana I; Assis, Jorge; Patrício, A. R.; Ferreira, Rogério; Cheikh, Mohamed Ahmed Sidi; Bandeira, Salomao; Regalla, AissaPopulation connectivity influences the distribution of genetic diversity and divergence along a species range, as the likelihood of extinction or differentiation increases in isolated populations. However, there is still poor understanding of the processes mediating interpopulation dispersal in marine species that are sessile and lack planktonic life stages. One such case is the seagrass species Halodule wright...
Green turtles highlight connectivity across a regional marine protected area ne...
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...
