Open AccessOptimism for mitigation of climate warming impacts for sea turtles through nest shading and relocation
Increasing incubation temperatures may threaten the viability of sea turtle populations. We explored opportunities for decreasing incubation temperatures at a Caribbean rookery with extreme female-biased hatch...

Open AccessPopulation recovery changes population composition at a major southern Caribbean juvenile developmental habitat for the green turtle, Chelonia mydas
Understanding the population composition and dynamics of migratory megafauna at key developmental habitats is critical for conservation and management. The present study investigated whether differential recov...

Open AccessMimicry of emergent traits amplifies coastal restoration success
Restoration is becoming a vital tool to counteract coastal ecosystem degradation. Modifying transplant designs of habitat-forming organisms from dispersed to clumped can amplify coastal restoration yields as i...

A dynamic view of seagrass meadows in the wake of successful green turtle conservation
Concerted conservation efforts have led to a remarkable recovery of multiple green turtle (Chelonia mydas) populations worldwide. The voracious feeding of these returning populations is radically transforming tro...

The population genomic structure of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) suggests a warm-water corridor for tropical marine fauna between the Atlantic and Indian oceans during the last interglacial
The occasional westward transport of warm water of the Agulhas Current, “Agulhas leakage”, around southern Africa has been suggested to facilitate tropical marine connectivity between the Atlantic and Indian o...

Seagrass Abundance Predicts Surficial Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Across the Range of Thalassia testudinum in the Western North Atlantic
The organic carbon (Corg) stored in seagrass meadows is globally significant and could be relevant in strategies to mitigate increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Most of that stored Corg is in the soil...

Herbivore effects increase with latitude across the extent of a foundational seagrass
Climate change is altering the functioning of foundational ecosystems. While the direct effects of warming are expected to influence individual species, the indirect effects of warming on species interactions ...
