Quantitative Tools for Monitoring Strategy Evaluation and Assessment of Sea Turtle Populations

Creator:

Piacenza, Susan E. H.

Abstract:

Green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas, have endangered and threatened populations globally, but several populations show signs of population recovery. In Hawaii, nesting female green turtles have increased 5.7% year⁻¹ since 1973, but wide fluctuations in census counts of nesting females make recovery diagnosis difficult. For effective management planning, it is...

Maternal effects, the environment, and age structure: A mechanistic fine-scale approach to describe a complex set of factors contributing to larval growth and survival

Creator:

Arnold, Linsey M.

Abstract:

The relationship between population characteristics and population productivity is fundamental to sustainable fisheries management, but predicting productivity remains a challenging task. Proposed mechanisms driving the variability in productivity at a given population size have included environmental and demographic factors related to the age structure of the population, but the broad-scale...
