Diverse migratory strategies for a hawksbill sea turtle population

Maurer, A. S., Seminoff, J. A., Reiskind, M. O. B., & Stapleton, S. P. (2024, January 1). Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Vol. 1.

By: A. Maurer n, J. Seminoff *, M. Reiskind n  & S. Stapleton *

author keywords: Argos; Caribbean; Eretmochelys imbricata; home range; satellite tracking; switching state-space model; telemetry; utilization distribution
topics (OpenAlex): Turtle Biology and Conservation; Wildlife Ecology and Conservation; Avian ecology and behavior
TL;DR: Evidence is added suggesting that, broadly, post‐nesting hawksbills forage in neritic habitats throughout the Wider Caribbean, including several high‐use areas. (via Semantic Scholar)

Beached Sargassum alters sand thermal environments: Implications for incubating sea turtle eggs

Maurer, A. S., Gross, K., & Stapleton, S. P. (2021, October 28). Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology.

By: A. Maurer n, K. Gross n & S. Stapleton *

author keywords: Marine turtle; Thermal tolerance; Temperature-dependent sex determination; Hawksbill; Climate change; Macroalgae
topics (OpenAlex): Turtle Biology and Conservation; Marine and coastal plant biology; Marine animal studies overview
TL;DR: Impacts on sea turtle nesting ecology are described, with a focus on the below-ground thermal environment for incubating eggs of Sargassum spp, where these thermal changes can significantly impact developmental outcomes for sea turtle embryos. (via Semantic Scholar)

2021 article

Population Viability of Sea Turtles in the Context of Global Warming

Maurer, A. S., Seminoff, J. A., Layman, C. A., Stapleton, S. P., Godfrey, M. H., & Reiskind, M. O. B. (2021, February 19). BioScience, Vol. 8.

By: A. Maurer n, J. Seminoff *, C. Layman*, S. Stapleton *, M. Godfrey* & M. Reiskind n 

author keywords: climate change; temperature-dependent sex determination; thermal tolerance; operational sex ratio; effective population size
topics (OpenAlex): Turtle Biology and Conservation; Amphibian and Reptile Biology; Animal Behavior and Reproduction
TL;DR: By reviewing research on sea turtles, this article provides an overview of how temperature impacts on incubating eggs may cascade through life history to ultimately affect population viability and underscores the importance of considering the effects of climate throughout the life history of any species.

Loggerhead Nesting in the Northern Gulf of Mexico: Importance of Beach Slope to Nest Site Selection in the Mississippi Barrier Islands

Maurer, A. S., & Johnson, M. W. (2017, December 1). Chelonian Conservation and Biology.

By: A. Maurer n & M. Johnson *

topics (OpenAlex): Avian ecology and behavior; Fish Ecology and Management Studies; Turtle Biology and Conservation
TL;DR: It is inferred that loggerheads cue in to beach slope to reach a perceived elevation with reduced risk of inundation, crawling longer distances on flatter slopes compared with shorter distances on steep slopes, but that after this elevation is reached, other environmental variables may ultimately factor into the decision to lay eggs.

Evaluating nest supplementation as a recovery strategy for the endangered rodents of the Florida Keys

Restoration Ecology, 25(2), 253–260.

By: M. Cove n , T. Simons n, B. Gardner *, A. Maurer n & A. O'Connell *

author keywords: camera trap; cotton mouse; Neotoma; nest supplementation; occupancy; Peromyscus
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies; Wildlife Ecology and Conservation; Species Distribution and Climate Change
TL;DR: It is suggested that nest supplementation can be an important tool for species recovery as habitat quality continues to improve with succession. (via Semantic Scholar)
