Ecology And Conservation Of Immature Sea Turtles Across Multiple Scales, Lucas Griffin
Ecology And Conservation Of Immature Sea Turtles Across Multiple Scales, Lucas Griffin
Doctoral Dissertations
Considering many sea turtle populations are a fraction of their historic size and anthropogenic threats within the marine environment are increasing, additional data are imperative to help mitigate anthropogenic disturbances and to build resilience into sea turtle populations. In this dissertation, I present three data chapters focused on immature sea turtle ecology and conservation. These chapters evaluate sea turtle ecology and conservation at varying scales, ranging from mitigating human-wildlife interactions at the individual level, to coastal movements and space use at the ecosystem level, and to large scale climate change impacts at the population level. Ultimately, these chapters provide a …
